As you're being so good in reviewing WikiCup nominations, I think it only fair to take on a couple of your own. Harrias ^talk 13:02, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Not much to fault with this article at all.

• In the lead it mentions that "The Chacals were regarded as obsolete by 1935" but this isn't mentioned in the body.
  • Good catch.
• Similarly, the lead says that "She was assigned convoy escort duties in the Atlantic after the start of World War II in September 1939." While the article doesn't make it clear that this is the case, saying "When the war started in September 1939, Lynx belonged to the 4th Large Destroyer Division (4e division de contre-torpilleurs) with her sisters Panthère and Tigre. She was assigned to the Western Command (Forces maritimes de l'Ouest) for convoy escort duties from October to May 1940 where she guarded convoys traveling between Gibraltar and Brest as well as Casablanca, French Morocco, and Le Verdon-sur-Mer."

Other than that, the article looks in good shape. Harrias ^talk 13:17, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

• • Guarded convoys is the same as escorting them. I was trying to mix up the language a little, but I can change it if you think it would be clearer.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:00, 12 October 2015 (UTC)

• No, my mistake, it was actually the dates I had an issue with, but on re-reading it, they make sense. Everything looks good with this nomination now, so I'm more than happy to pass it. Harrias ^talk 08:50, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
