Initial comments
edit- Once again I feel that the lead needs to be expanded somewhat to summarise the article. A couple of sentences on its career etc
- "The Town-class cruisers were intended to protect British merchant shipping from attack by enemy cruisers" - attacks?
- "The ships had a crew of 480 officers and other ranks" - this needs a citation
- "During 1915 at The ships were protected by a waterline belt amidships" - broken?
- "and the 1st LCS was escorting Vice-Admiral David Beatty's battlecruisers" - no need for hyphen in Vice Admiral (unless it was stylised that way in the early 1900s)
- "he ship was assigned to the 1st Light Cruiser Squadron (LCS) of the Home Fleet" - link Home Fleet
- "A few weeks after Britain joined the war on 4 August" - even though I know what it's on about, a mentioned of World War I would suit this sentence
- "commander of the Grand Fleet" - link Grand Fleet
- No dead links
Very good and well written article, I could find little wrong with it. Once all of the prose issues are addressed and the lead is expanded, this should have no problem passing.
