Will do this one. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:45, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

This article is in good shape. I have a few comments:

• in the lead, link mobilisation as it is a bit jargony
  • Ha, I remembered to do that on Washington but not this one.
• also in the lead, perhaps mention that she was on the east coast before the war, a bit of assumed knowledge
  • Good idea
• also in the lead, link ship commissioning for decommissioned
  • Done
• suggest "which added a restriction on her main battery of guns that they be no larger than 14 inches (360 mm)"
  • Works for me
• comma after ""standard" series"
  • I don't think one is needed there - there are only two things being considered in that sentence - standard type battleships or fast battleships
• the horsepower is shp in the body and just hp in the infobox
  • Fixed
• not sure what to do about the crew numbers, don't we use s designed in the infobox, therefore 1,800?
  • Good catch
• the conversion for the 16 in guns varies from 410 mm to 406 mm
  • Fixed
• also, I'm not sure about the use of 16", should perhaps be 16 in?
  • Good idea
• no conversion of 5 in in the body?
  • Added
• the caliber of the 1.1 in guns isn't provided in the body
  • Removed from the box
• "South Dakota class" is a dab
  • Good catch
• "more advanced Mark 8 sets"
  • Fixed
• with the replacement AA guns, it switches to metric first, which jars a bit
  • Yeah, but that's how they were designated - nobody calls them 0.79" Oerlikons
• suggest "By June 1943, her anti-aircraft armament washad been increased"
  • Good catch
• consistency with hyphenation "twin-mounts and twenty single mounts"
  • Fixed
• "The keel for North Carolina was laid down on 27 October 1937 at the New York Naval Shipyard on 27 October 1937"
  • Whoops
• "tThe Navy briefly considered"
  • Fixed
• "a combination fromof rapid maneuvering"
  • Fixed
• there is a bit of assumed knowledge about what sort of ships Indiana and Massachusetts were
  • Added a descriptor to the first reference to Indiana, but don't you think saying the battleship group consisted of this one and two other names should be fairly explicit?
• "The ships to bombarded the island of Nauru"
  • Must've gotten rewritten too many times
• once you use TF, go with it throughout
  • Fixed
• "In the course of the battle, North Carolina shot down two Japanese aircraft during the battle"
  • Fied
• link Tinian
  • Done
• suggest "to hit targets ion Kyushu"
  • Done
• "and the Ryukus continued after the landing on Okinawa"
  • Fixed
• suggest "the fast carrier task force washad been transferred back to Third Fleet"
  • Fixed
• "by a group of nine tugboats"
  • Whoops
• suggest "Work to maintain the ship and improve the facility areis an on-going efforts"
  • Works for me
• all the image licensing looks fine.

That's me done. Placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:03, 11 May 2019 (UTC)
