I find the source given for this being the first diesel submarine unconvincing. It is not, IMO, a reliable source. However, cite 3, again IMO, is, so I have moved that in and as such am happy to approve this. When I first read the hook I thought that "standard" made it clunky, so as you are happy for it to go, it is gone.
