  • ... that two Royal Navy ships named HMS Surly were launched within a year of each other: an 1855 mortar vessel and an 1856 gunboat? "Surly ... L. 31.3.1855" from: Winfield, Rif (2014). British Warships in the Age of Sail 1817-1863: Design, Construction, Careers and Fates. Barnsley, South Yorkshire: Seaforth Publishing. p. 288. ISBN 978-1-84832-169-4. and "Surly ... L. 18.3.1856" from p372 of the same source
ALT1: ... that the 1856 gunboat HMS Surly was launched less than a year after the Royal Navy launched another vessel of the same name?

  • New articles that were moved to mainspace on 9 November 2020 are 3,106 and 2,450 characters, respectively, and nominated on the same day. No copyvios detected in either article [1][2] and no close paraphrasing issues spotted (AGF scanned refs which can't go through Dup detector). Articles are well-sourced. Hook is 127 characters long (ALT1 is 124); both are under the 200 character max. limit and are interesting. Ref by Winfield used in both articles (verifying both the hook and ALT1) is a reliable source (AGF as there is no preview available). Both QPQs done. Looks good to go! —Bloom6132 (talk) 15:17, 11 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
