Comments

1. which developed a total of 23,000 indicated horsepower. Maybe change developed to produced

• Done.

2. built for the Royal Navy in the mid-1900s. Suggest - giving the exact date when it was built

• Built how? Laid down, launched or completed? The present wording orients the reader sufficiently in time.

I see your point.

3. While on that duty the ship captured the German merchantman Altair of 3,200 tons GRT on 15 August. Do you mean the German merchant ship/vessel? Or is it called the merchantman?

• Merchantman means merchant ship. If it were part of the ship's name, it would be italicized.*

Fair enough, I was a bit confused about that but now I understand.

4. The ship then landed a demolition party that blew the fort up on 10 November and she rejoined the convoy. Suggest - The ship then landed a demolition party, which blew the fort up on 10 November and she then rejoined the convoy.

• I like this wording better.

5. the two leading ships of the squadron. The needs a capital as it is the start of a sentence

• Good catch. Thanks for the review.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:41, 6 February 2011 (UTC)
