This article is in great shape. I have the following comments

  • "Mutsu loaded supplies from Kyushu for the victims on 4 September" - can something more precise be said about this? (Kyushu is a big island, so can the port be identified?)
    • I've added the bay where they anchored.
  • "she sank the hulk of the obsolete battleship Satsuma on 7 September 1924 during gunnery practice in Tokyo Bay in accordance with the Washington Naval Treaty" - this is a bit unclear; the destruction of Satsuma was in accordance with the treaty, but the document didn't specify that she needed to be sunk as target practice as this sentence implies
  • "Captain Mitsumasa Yonai, later Prime Minister of Japan" - his name isn't linked
    • Good catch.
  • The paragraph which begins with "During the war Mutsu saw limited action" is currently unreferenced
    • Hate when I do that.
  • The sentence which begins with "n July 1944, the oil-starved IJN" also needs a reference
    • Ditto
  • The final section states that some artifacts are located in "shrines", but doesn't identify these
  • "It is not the No. 4 turret raised from the wreck in 1970 because it was photographed in 1947" - this doesn't seem necessary given that the source of the turret is identified in the previous sentence Nick-D (talk) 08:56, 11 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
    • Agreed. Thanks for the review.
