I will review this one, comments to follow in due course. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 23:50, 4 January 2019 (UTC) This looks in good shape. My comments:
- "On 3 July T24 and her sister T25 departed for Western France." The following sentence mentions British coastal artillery, so for better context, I think it should be mentioned they were (presumably) going via the English Channel.
- It's mentioned in the lede.
- But the lede is supposed to be a summary of the body of the article, and it is not mentioned in the body. Zawed (talk) 08:19, 14 January 2019 (UTC)
- Added, but I'd have thought that the mentions of French ports on the Channel visited en route would have informed the reader that they weren't taking the long route past Scotland.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:30, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

- It's mentioned in the lede.
- "through the Bay."; specify Bay of Biscay here, it is the first time it is mentioned.
- See above
- "threw spray over their forward guns that made them difficult to operate."; replace that with and
- I think "which" works even better
- "Korvettenkapitän Franz Kohlauf"; presumably commander of 4th Flotilla. If so, mention this.
- "The German ships had been spotted first..."; This starts off quite a long sentence, consider breaking it up.
- I've separated the bit covering T24's inaction with a semi-colon
- "37 mm anti-aircraft guns"; shouldn't this be 3.7 cm for consistency with the armament of the T24 (I assume; the way this sentence is structured suggests you are referring to the exchange of fire so the 40mm is British).
- Referring to the citations, it looks like you use the year of pub to differentiate between the two Whitley refs - but there are some that don't have the year.
- Good catch
- No dupe links
- No dab links
- External links check out OK
- Image tags look fine
That's my comments complete. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 06:55, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks for the thorough review. Let me know if my changes are satisfactory.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:08, 9 January 2019 (UTC)
