  • One dead link.
    • Removed
  • Images appropriately licensed.

    • Fixed
  • Link main (gun) battery, aircraft catapult, Iceland
    • Done

    • Added a note.
  • Provide Imperial conversions for Bofors and Oerlikon guns
    • Done
  • after completing fitting-out work awkward
    • How about "and after fitting-out work ended"?
  • Shortly after commissioning too close usages of commissioning. Try "shortly afterward", ...
    • Done
  • Don't think that Naval Review should be capitalized.
    • Good catch
  • I'd delete the little bit about her reconstruction in the career section and add what wasn't already covered in the modification section to the modification section.
    • That's a good idea
  • Harold Rainsford Stark Don't really think that we need his middle name
    • Good point
  • transferred Idaho, the battleships Mississippi and New Mexico her sisters
    • Done
