• "sinking one transport, one gunboat, one merchant, three sailing vessels" - Consider linking
  • Linked merchant. Transport, gunboat, and sailing vessel are too broad.
• "Sea Rover collided with an Australian corvette" - Link corvette. At least in the US, the corvette car is better known that the corvette ship
  • Done.
• "It is uncertain if Sea Rover was completed with a 20-millimetre (0.8 in) Oerlikon light AA gun or had one added later." - The prose suggests ambiguity on this point, but the infobox states that it was added later. If there's ambiguity, it should be reflected evenly everywhere.
  • Done.
• "The third-batch S-class boats were fitted with either a Type 129AR or 138 ASDIC system and a Type 291 or 291W early-warning radar" - Infobox suggests ambiguity for the ASDIC system, but only gives one type for the early-warning; if there's ambiguity in the sources, then that should also be reflected in the infobox.
  • From what I get, the 291W was the submarine-specific version. Changed to only Type 192W radar
• Link Casablanca
  • Done
• "On 21 February 1944, the boat went on patrol in the Strait of Malacca; On 3 March she sighted a Japanese submarine, possibly the Ro-100-class submarine RO-111 and fired a full spread of six torpedoes; The submarine was seen to alter its course, possibly to evade the torpedoes, and no hits were seen" - Twice in here you have a semicolon followed by a capital letter, it should either be a period instead of the semicolon, or it should be lowercase
  • Done - I have a bad habit of putting capitals after semicolons.
• "she laid a minefield of 8 mines off the Malay Peninsula" - MOS:NUMERALS
  • Done.
• "Sea Rover was depth charged by two Japanese anti-submarine ships South of Penang" - I don't think South should be capitalized here.
  • Done.
• "No allied aircraft were seen" - Capitalize Allied
  • Done.

• Move Colledge to a Further reading section, since it isn't used as a source.
  • Actually, I've removed it.

• The source link for the badge isn't functional. I'm not the best with fair-use rationales, but I think a working source link is needed.
  • Found a version on Pinterest, artistic works by the UK gov before 1970 are PD.
