... that the Colonial Defence Committee advised British colonies not to permit more than two foreign warships into harbour at a time, in case of a surprise attack? Source: "In the light of this record the Committee sternly cautioned the colonial authorities against permitting more than two foreign warships into a colonial harbor at one time" from:Gordon, Donald C.

– good to go. The article was moved to mainspace on the twenty-fourth; it's duly sourced and more than long enough. Earwig's tool finds no copyright concerns, and no other policy problems are apparent. The QPQ has been completed. I think the hook, which I've verified in the cited source, is certainly "hooky" enough, and it meets the brevity requirement. Thanks for writing this interesting article!
