This is a well-cited (especially considering it's less than 72-hours old!) biographical stub concerning a person who is still remembered in numerous present-day sources even though the most striking events of his life took place almost 100 years ago. I wonder what percentage of living persons with WP biographies that will be true of 100 years from now. Proposed deletion tag recommended incorporating material into main article, but it's not at all clear to me what main article the material would be incorporated into.

Hi, Jbening. I understand your concerns. So that you understand the background behind the proposed deletion tag, please see the discussion here. This article was discussed within the Military History project where general concensus was that the subject was not notable beyond the single event of his survival, thus not passing WP:ONEVENT. IMO the subject also doesn't pass WP:MILPEOPLE, although this is not a policy document and, therefore, not binding. The information about the subject's survival has now been included in the Action of 22 September 1914 article. Cheers. — AustralianRupert ( talk) 07:06, 20 March 2010 (UTC) reply

Warship names with designations that include a personal pronoun, such as "HMS" or "SMS", should be preceeded by "the"; in effect, writing "The HMS Aboukir" is saying "The His Majesty's Ship "

Writing "The Aboukir", without "HMS", is correct, however.
