HMS Euryalus (1901) edit

  • ... that the completion of the armoured cruiser HMS Euryalus was severely delayed by multiple accidents including a fire, slipping off her blocks in drydock, and colliding with another vessel?

  • Article became a GA on 11 March so considered new, is long enough, neutral enough, contains no disambig links, no obvious copyvios, hook is interesting and is sourced to an off line news source from 1901 so can only assume good faith. Hook is within length just at 192 characters. Good to go.Blethering Scot 21:05, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
