- Early life: Philippines needs to be linked on first reference.
- Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- "His younger brother George graduated with the class of 1934, but resigned later that year. He later became a major in the Army during World War II." -- The second "he" here is unclear as to whether you're referring to the subject of this article or to his brother.
- Re-worded. Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- "Mumma's class at Annapolis were the first one..." -- "class" in this context refers to the singular body as a whole, so his class was the first. Alternatively, you could state, "The cadets in Mumma's class at Annapolis were the first ones..."
- Changed to "was". Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- "He reported to his next ship, which was the cruiser USS Chicago (CA-29)..." this is the only ship in the article with a visible hull symbol. Should be standardized.
- Typo. Corrected. Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- World War II: "ultra secret security clearances" should be linked.
- Done. Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Duplicate links tool returns one result: destroyer. No problems with external links or dab links.
- Unlinked. Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Article is illustrated by one image with appropriate licensing. No problems with stability are apparent, though a majority of the footnotes are sourced to what appear to be primary sources, which might present an issue at any future A or FA review.
- I was not intending to take it to A or FAC for this reason. Hawkeye7 (talk) 17:13, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- On hold pending fixes. —Ed!(talk) 16:42, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
- Very good. Passing the article for GA, well done. —Ed!(talk) 21:06, 7 January 2013 (UTC)
