I will review this article shortly. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 09:06, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

Initial comments/suggestions: AustralianRupert (talk) 10:29, 27 November 2019 (UTC)

• there are no dab or dup links and the ext links all work (no action required);
• formally decommissioned on 23 May 1914 -- infobox seems to say 27 May 1914
  • 23 May is correct per DANFS
• limited commission on 23 April -- infobox seems to say 28 April 1917
  • Must've been a typo with the box
• as part of Fleet Problem I in February -- suggest adding "1923" here
  • Good catch
• presence in a 25,000 square miles (65,000 km2) area --> "25,000-square-mile (65,000 km2) area" (suggest turning the adjective function on in the template)
  • Fixed
• reduced blast interference between them --> suggest clarifying what "them" is referring to here
  • Done
• the displacement figure in the infobox doesn't match the body
  • Fixed
• references all seem to be reliable (no action required)
• Footnote 13: suggest maybe changing this from "Underwater Archeology Branch" to "Naval Historical Center" as the publisher/author?
  • Works for me
• Footnote 15 has a formatting error "& 13 May 1991"
  • Fixed
• in the References, suggest moving the link for the Naval Institute Press to the first mention
  • Good catch
• in the References, some of the ISBNs use hyphens and some don't (for instance see Herder)
  • Fixed
• "File:LC-DIG-DET-4a14261 (18565145659).jpg": probably needs the date field updated on the Commons description page
  • Good catch. Thanks AR. Parsecboy (talk) 13:36, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
    • No worries, nice work. Passing now, per the below. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 07:22, 28 November 2019 (UTC)
