  • Recent GA, well written, and well referenced. Hook is cited, of sufficient length and interesting; although speaking as an engineer the ship's role in development of PID controllers is more notable. Image is suitable and appropriately licensed (added the "(pictured)" in the hook). A spotcheck on the sources revealed no close paraphrasing issues, but I've made a few copyedits. Good to go!
