HMS Porcupine (G93) edit

  • ... that after HMS Porcupine was cut in half by an explosion, the two halves were still used as HMS Pork and HMS Pine?

Review
Article - Date as given, long enough, all policies met
Hook - Not entirely - she was nearly cut in half by an explosion. Would also prefer to avoid "half" and "halves". I suggest:
ALT1: ... that HMS Porcupine was so badly damaged by a torpedo that it was eventually cut in half to create two new ships: HMS Pork and HMS Pine?
Other - QPQ not required yet, I believe.
Overall - All good and ready to go assuming acceptance of the ALT suggestion.
