Really nice article expansion there, kind of like what I did with submarines some time ago. L293D (☎ • ✎) 02:09, 5 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Image review

Images look fine. Even if the uplaoder of File:CVE59 Mission Bay 1.jpg didn't own the copyright, its PD because it was taken by the US Navy.

Source review

All sources look reliable, except for https://www.hazegray.org/ . I've never been really good at determining the reliability of online references, but I have some doubts about it. I think most if not all of the info found there could sourced by other sources.

Most of the information within hazegray is mirrored in the other sources. I suppose it's rather redundant.

Lead

I really think that the lead could be expanded at least a few lines with more details of her wartime career. I'll re-review afterwards.

Design

link stern
This section looks good except that I would suggest changing the caption of the image from "A profile of the design of Takanis Bay, which was shared with all Casablanca-class escort carriers" to something like "Profile of a Casablanca-class escort carrier".

Construction

remove the redlink for the captain, I really don't think he would be notable or that anyone would write an article on him.

Career

rm the William Ellis Gentner redlink
link mothballed to Reserve fleet.
The rest looks good.

Good work. The lead still needs some more content though. L293D (☎ • ✎) 12:48, 5 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
