Assessment[edit]

Hi there, I assessed this as B-Class per the checklist as it meets the criteria, (after I added the {{reflist}}!!!) What it needs now is a good copyedit and perhaps some restructuring. I would move the opposing forces bit down to the bottom of the page. You then need to provide more information on the references, the abbreviations aren't understandable to me. You need a specific section listing the references, ie publishers, dates, isbns etc. See Paul Nobuo Tatsuguchi for an example on how this should look. If you have any questions, then ask away on my talkpage. Regards. Woody (talk) 18:02, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Riding the Gulf Stream[edit]

Ships in the Caribbean trade would reduce the time of their homeward journeys to New York, Philadelphia, or Boston by riding the stream to the north.

As the stream flows Northeast, how would it reduce their homeward journeys? Are you sure you don't mean their outward journeys? Valetude (talk) 19:07, 20 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
