This article is in pretty good shape.

  • The displacement in the text and infobox doesn't match.
  • probably worth specifying that the secondary guns were in single mounts
  • After introducing BS as an abbreviation, suggest referring to 1st BS.
  • suggest linking mobilisation
    • Excellent idea!
  • link Home Fleet at first mention
    • Linked in the lede
  • link dreadnought at 16 dreadnoughts
    • Isn't this covered in the link for dreadnought battleships in the lede? Or is this just different enough?
  • the sentence beginning During this foray appears to be out of sequence
    • Moved earlier in the para, but I kinda think that it breaks the flow up a bit, what do you think?
      • I think it flows ok.
  • Agincourt should probably be linked
    • Good catch.
  • she was sold
  • images are all appropriately licensed and captioned.

  • I appreciate you looking this over. Let me know what you think of my changes.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:29, 8 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
    • No prob. This article is well-written, verifiable using reliable sources, covers the subject well, is neutral and stable, and is illustrated by appropriately license images with appropriate captions. Passing. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:50, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply

HE shell use at Jutland ? edit

"One of her high-explosive (HE) shells penetrated through the upper superstructure and caused minor splinter damage. The second HE shell burst on hitting the upper hull armour,.." ? She would have been firing armour-piercing, not HE at naval targets ? Rcbutcher (talk) 06:21, 9 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
