I will take this one. Zawed (talk) 22:12, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Only six sources are used, and the article probably could go more in depth in the Construction and Service section. It could use more pictures, too. BlacknoseDace(say something. I'm lonely!)^{[I'm not a reference!]} 22:53, 11 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Should this picture be added to the article?

Lead

..was one of escort destroyers...: a number missing here? "one of [how many] escort destroyers...?

Construction and service

Inconsistency in launch date compared to infobox
- Good catch
The service history is pretty light but perhaps that is to be expected given she was only completed in the last year of the war. Nevitt mentions a couple of aerial engagements in May, plus identifies her first captain, worth including?
- Yeah, not much to work with here. I tried to track down American aircraft operations over Japan. The carriers were all busy down around Okinawa and the few USAAF minelaying operations that I could pin down weren't anywhere near Osaka or Yokosuka on those dates, so I have no idea what aircraft she fired upon. Unless they're notable, I generally don't bother with ship captains.

Bibliography

Can I can get a check on the place of publication for Stille, I thought Osprey was based in Oxford?
- Botley is in Oxford.

That's it for me. Zawed (talk) 22:36, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your time reviewing this.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:10, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, looks OK and passing as GA since I believe that it meets the necessary criteria - well written, reasonably covers topic, reliably sourced, and illustrated appropriately. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 08:29, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
