Review
  • Lede
  • Background
  • "augmenting the fleet of Admiral Samuel Barrington" - so he was already there? (I must have missed that.)
    • The Royal Navy had more-or-less permanent stations in the West Indies. I didn't think any specific reference this (or the arrival of its most recent commander) was particularly necessary. I've added words mentioning Barrington's post. Magic♪piano 16:06, 21 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • "the French at Martinique" - on Martinique? Fixed Magic♪piano 16:06, 21 December 2011 (UTC)Reply
  • "Governor the marquis de Bouillé" - looks funny. Should it be Governer François Claude Amour?
  • French capture
  • Aftermath
  • Caption
  • Everything else looks fine. A very clear, concise article.
  • I made a few copy edits that you are free to reverse.[1]
