... that the U.S. did, or does, operate a fleet of "doomsday trucks" that may hit the road following a catastrophic nuclear attack against the United States?
Overall: Core criteria checked per above template. Sole problem is that the article is unassessed, but must be Start class for DYK. I would assess it as such if it were not a conflict of interest. Third party guidance on this would be most welcome. Fascinating subject matter, and has to be tough to research what with security regs. Let's clear up the assessment issue, so we can "put this show on the road."Georgejdorner (talk) 22:44, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
The reviewing guide specifies that adding a Start-class assessment by a DYK reviewer is permissible Georgejdorner. LavaBaron (talk) 05:07, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Indeed, hook ALT1 is snappier. Although it can leave one wondering if there can be such a thing as a non-catastrophic nuclear attack.Georgejdorner (talk) 17:10, 11 March 2016 (UTC)
