@Stikkyy: sorry, I'm not going to do this review. Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 07:22, 28 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Stikkyy: sorry, this was a long time ago and I remember being annoyed at the time at a matter unrelated, meaning I didn't do the GA review. To make up, if you have another GA candidate that you would like reviewing, please let me know and I'll happily oblige. Once again, sorry about that. Kind regards, Willbb234Talk (please {{ping}} me in replies) 10:45, 20 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Willbb234: Jeez, you don't have to kick yourself for a missed GA review over a year ago. It's fine. Stikkyy t/c 16:10, 21 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

  • It was named after Ommaney Bay, located at the south Is there a link for the bay?
  • end of Baranof Island, Alaska. Launched in late 1943 Pipe Alaska to the Territory of Alaska.
  • a force of 9,000 horsepower (6,700 kW) Link kW.
  • one on the fore, another on the aft.[3][2][4] Re-oder the refs.
  • equipped with 16 Bofors 40 mm anti-aircraft guns in twin mounts No English units?
  • Casablanca-class carriers had been modified to carry 30 20 mm cannons Try to avoid two separate numbers next to each other.
  • I see three howevers maybe remove two of them due the article is really short to use more than one.
  • Please use four digits instead of three in 24-hour clocks.
  • Link Rear Admiral.
  • only successful interception was when P-47 fighters Maybe link P-47.
  • A TBM torpedo bomber had been hit by the kamikaze's What kind of TBM? TBM-1C or TBM-3 or TBM-1CP?
  • Never specified. Just says torpedo bomber, and since the carrier had 2 torpedo bomber variants, I can't really specify. Certainly not a TBM-1CP, since that's a reconnaissance plane.
  • "air strikes" --> "airstrikes"
  • At 17:45, wounded crew began to be taken --> "At 17:45, wounded the crew began to be taken"
  • "Wounded" not intended to be an adjective. Just serves to highlight how the crew knew that the situation was unsalvageable before the order to abandon ship was given.

Infobox

  • The Awarded part isn't mentioned in the body.
  • United States Pacific Fleet (1943–1945) Maybe replace the years below the unit?

Images

  • File:USS Ommaney Bay (CVE-79) off Hawaii, July 1944.jpg needs a link for its source.
  • File:Cve79a.jpg I cannot get into the source do you have the same problem?

Sources

  • "Rielly, Robin" --> "Rielly, Robin L."
  • Google Books claims that Conway was published in 1984 but the article says 1980 which one is correct?
  • 1980 was original edition, and what I happen to have access to.
  • "Y'Blood, William" --> "Y'Blood, William T."
  • There is an error in the Photo gallery source.

That's anything from me. Cheers. CPA-5 (talk) 19:15, 30 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
