[edit] Failed GA nom

This article lacks a lead as per WP:LEAD. The lead paragraph is supposed to summarise information given in the rest of the article. The lead of this article, however, not only does not summarise the rest of the article but also includes information not found elsewhere in the article. Furthermore, the article digresses on topics not immediately relevant to the topic, like a rather detailed narrative of the actions of the USS Nevada at Pearl Harbor. Thirdly, this section:

Throwing lines to the stricken repair ship, Hoga helped pull Vestal away from Arizona at 8:30 hours (military time is cited throughout this study).

The phrase "this study" makes me suspect this is either copy-vio or original research, both of which are not to be included on Wikipedia. This is obviously inconclusive evidence, but I find it enough grounds for rejection of the article for GA. Lastly, the article could use some more inline citations, though this is not as critical as the previous issues. Druworos 12:06, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
