  • Section 1; para 1; sentence 1; "with more armour" may revised as "with better armour"
    • The armour was thicker and there was more of it, so I think that "more" is OK.
  • Section 1; para 1; consistency error; In the para maximum speed is mentioned as "18 knots (33 km/h; 21 mph)" and in the infobox it is "17 kn (31 km/h; 20 mph)". The same error with the ranges also, "8,750 nautical miles (16,200 km; 10,070 mi) at a speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph)" in prose, and "3,500 nmi (6,500 km; 4,000 mi) at 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph)" in infobox.
    • Good catch.
  • Section 2; Who is "Hon. Mrs. Algernon Littleton"? Please mention something about her capacity (if available).
    • My source comments that even he hasn't been able to figure out who she was. My best guess is the wife of some aristocratic byblow.
  • Section 2.1; para 1; Please mention the namesake of the ship. I think it is for Louis Botha, a South African general and later Prime Minister of SA, and also add the same to infobox.
    • Good idea for the main body, already in the infobox.
  • Section 2.1; para 1; "where they arrived two days later", "they"? It is only one ship right? Please revise this.
  • Section 2.1; para 2; sentence 1; "He donated it to a trust", who is "he"? Because just in prior sentence, Minister of Defence was mentioned. It creates some confusion whether he donated or the owner.
    • Indeed.
  • Section 2.1; para 2; "The Board of Control offered the ship to the RN", which "Board of Control"? Please mention.
