GA review (see here for criteria)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS):
Right now, it reads as though the 5-inch armored ring was installed on Latnik, not Lava

One dupe link
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Lava was present during a visit of an American squadron in 1867: see here and here
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
It'd be nice to get a line drawing but Brassey's and Jane's don't normally include them for smaller ships, so oh well.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Thanks for finding the bit about the American visit and catching the small errors. All done now.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:15, 16 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
