I'll take a look at this shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 16:06, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Prelim

[edit]
  • V and W-class destroyer is a duplicated link
    • Removed.
  • Image correctly licensed
  • Article is stable
  • Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

[edit]
  • "he S class was"
    • Fixed.
  • Very nit-picky, but the article says the ship was "handed over" which doesn't necessarily mean sold
    • Amended.

Design and development

[edit]
  • "Mark V 21-inch torpedo to be carried aft"
    • The source does not say. The implication is that they were carried in the torpedo tubes aft and that is carried over here.

Construction and career

[edit]
  • Choose whether you capitalise "Armistice" or not, currently you use both
  • "independent operator under HMS Victory" what does this mean, considering Victory doesn't really...go anywhere?
    • The elderly ship of the line had been refloated by then and much the restoration carried out but was by no means operational. I have added some text to clarify that.
  • "would be sent to join"
    • Amended.
  • What role did Saladin have in the sinking of U-207?
    • I read the sources to say that the destroyer was one of the escorts that between them sank the submarine but the crew's actual contribution was probably small.
  • Believe it should be "ON 18", etc, rather than "ON. 18" "ON.25", "HX. 154"
    • Amended and linked.
  • Perhaps a few more words on where these convoys are going, because it isn't made clear
    • Clarified.
  • Link Falmouth
    • Added.

References

[edit]
  • References look good. AGF for print sources.

@Simongraham: Passing this article as satisfying the GA criteria. Your article output is almost unmatched! Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 14:10, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
