HMS Magnanime (1744)
[edit]- ... that when she was nine years old Magnanime, returned to the place of her birth to launch an attack upon it?
- Alt 1 ... that just prior to entering the hazardous waters of Quiberon Bay; HMS Magnanime was sent off in pursuit of an enemy ship, thus depriving the British Fleet of their only competent pilot?
- Alt 2 ... that HMS Magnanime led the attack on the Île-d'Aix in 1757?

- Article is new (moved into mainspace) and long enough, has enough prose, is neutral and cites sources. It is not a BLP, and is interesting. I cannot check sources so will take them on good faith.Martin451 (talk) 01:22, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
- it would be nice if the phrases "line abreast" and "in the van" were wikilinked, but this is not crucial.Martin451 (talk) 01:43, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
the main hook and alt 1 are referenced, but I cannot check the references, so will take them on good faith. They are both short enough and interesting, but not correctly formatted. I prefer the main hook. Alt 2 is uninteresting compared with the others.Martin451 (talk) 01:43, 8 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the review. Can you expand on "..not correctly formatted"? Do you mean it should be more like:
