• Number 13 is not italicized consistently. I assume it should be italicized per MOS:ITALIC. Currently there are two non-italicized instances of the name in the prose and one in the image caption.
• In The Number 13 class was designed by Captain Yuzuru Hiraga, the naval architect responsible for most of the recent Japanese capital ships. "recent" seems odd - as if it were in reference to the 2000s. I may have misunderstood that, but "contemporary" might be a better choice.
• There are several places in the prose describing the class as if the ships were built, for instance The Number 13 class was also fitted with... I think it would be far more accurate to say "The Number 13 class was also designed with..." and so on.

Overall a very nice article, with very few things to mend.--Tomobe03 (talk) 16:53, 13 May 2013 (UTC) OK, I fixed all of these. Thanks for the review.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 17:21, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
