• ... that the four Kalamazoo-class monitors, begun during the American Civil War, were eventually scrapped because the unseasoned wood of their hulls rotted while they were still on the building stocks?

• I'm not sure that I've ever done a DYK review on an article that was already a GA when I got there, but I will say that as far as I can tell, this meets all the DYK requirements. I'm giving this a AGF check, as I don't have access to any of the sources, and therefore can't spot check for close paraphrasing. That being said, you're something of an institution on this project, so I'm not concerned. Sven Manguard Wha? 21:58, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
  • I was rather surprised that it's been reviewed already as well. But I'm not complaining.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:20, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
