More Information needed

• Can somebody source a photograph of HMS Beagle
• Service history needs to be expanded, prehaps more on liberation of the channel islands which is her main 'claim to fame' — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fdsdh1 (talk • contribs) 19:04, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

I will review this one, comments to follow. Zawed (talk) 22:31, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Description

• In the text, the turbines are as Brown-Curtis when infobox says they are Parsons.
• Complement is 134 in text but 138 in infobox (I assume the infobox should refer to its peacetime complement not its wartime).
• "...and 'Y' gun was removed...": "...and the 'Y' gun was removed..." (or perhaps her).
  • Actually, since the gun is named, I don't believe that either suggestion is appropriate. They'd be fine if the text used "third" gun.

That's fine. Zawed (talk) 07:18, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Construction and service

• "...4 April – 17 September 1938...": the dash should be to, as per the following sentence which uses this format.
• "This assignment only two months...": "This assignment lasted only two months..."?
• "The ship was tasked to blockade the German-occupied ports...": "The ship was tasked with the blockade of the German-occupied ports
• I don't agree with these; your suggestion turns the sentence into passive voice. The existing text is simpler and more direct.

I can accept that; slipping into passive voice is a bad habit of mine. Zawed (talk) 07:18, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Other stuff

• Image tag looks fine.
• Duplicate link: John Brown & Company
• No dab links.
• Running Checklinks, the external link to u-boat net is described as suspicious (but it works for me?).

That's all for now, will check back in a few days. Zawed (talk) 22:56, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for catching the little inconsistencies between the infobox and text.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:58, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Passing as GA. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 07:18, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Just to add to "other stuff". HMS Beagle appears in the Ealing Studios production of "The Big Blockade" (1941), a wartime propaganda film.80.111.155.138 (talk) 16:09, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
