Image review

Every image was necessarily taken before 1923, so that's easy.

Infobox

Everything consistent with prose.

Lead

London-class ships began to be transferred to - both active and passive voice, reword
- Done
but they were withdrawn in May to reinforce the Italian fleet blockading the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the Adriatic Sea. - link Otranto Barrage and specify that the blockade was successful only in blockading surface ships, U-boats could pass through easily
- Done

Construction

Change section title to "Ships" or something like that
- I prefer the current heading, since it's a summary of the construction of the ships, and it's an easy link in the ToC for a reader who might want to know when the ships were built.

Really impressive article - I've had a hard time finding anything to suggest. L293D (☎ • ✎) 17:44, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

London or Bulwark-class

I´m not certain whether somebody has asked it before but there a different statemants about the classes. Some say it´t London-class other sources claim its Bulwark-class. So Im confused... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.Lovecraft (talk • contribs) 08:53, 20 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There are sometimes discrepancies when it comes to determining the name of a class; Burt refers to this one as the Bulwark class (presumably because Bulwark was commissioned first) but others use London as the name ship because that was the vessel that was laid down and launched first. There's a similar situation with the Colorado-class battleships - Colorado was authorized as BB-45, but Maryland, BB-46, was built first, so some refer to the class as the Maryland class, despite its official designation.

Page reference

most page references are wrong especially those from Burt. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.Lovecraft (talk • contribs) 10:10, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You’re probably using a different edition. The page numbers between two editions I’ve read vary widely. Parsecboy (talk) 10:13, 27 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ok that´s might be a point but i don´t think the number of pages are increasing that much from 200 to 300 and more... Mr.Lovecraft (talk) 14:49, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I checked it and i must admit you´re right. Mr.Lovecraft (talk) 14:54, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, they’re off by quite a bit, which is quite unusual. Parsecboy (talk) 15:00, 4 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
