I'll take a look at this shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 16:06, 19 September 2023 (UTC)

Prelim

• V and W-class destroyer is a duplicated link
  • Removed.
• Image correctly licensed
• Article is stable
• Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

• "he S class was"
  • Fixed.
• Very nit-picky, but the article says the ship was "handed over" which doesn't necessarily mean sold
  • Amended.

Design and development

• "Mark V 21-inch torpedo to be carried aft"
  • The source does not say. The implication is that they were carried in the torpedo tubes aft and that is carried over here.

Construction and career

• Choose whether you capitalise "Armistice" or not, currently you use both
  • Capitalised as per MOS:MILTERMS
• "independent operator under HMS Victory" what does this mean, considering Victory doesn't really...go anywhere?
  • The elderly ship of the line had been refloated by then and much the restoration carried out but was by no means operational. I have added some text to clarify that.
• "would be sent to join"
  • Amended.
• What role did Saladin have in the sinking of U-207?
  • I read the sources to say that the destroyer was one of the escorts that between them sank the submarine but the crew's actual contribution was probably small.
• Believe it should be "ON 18", etc, rather than "ON. 18" "ON.25", "HX. 154"
  • Amended and linked.
• Perhaps a few more words on where these convoys are going, because it isn't made clear
  • Clarified.
• Link Falmouth
  • Added.

References

• References look good. AGF for print sources.
