Below is my review:

GA review (see here for criteria)

1. It is reasonably well written.

   a (prose): b (MoS):

   • Lead: 'Tucker sailed off the east coast and in the Caribbean' - Not quite elegant
     • Good point. I've changed so it says "sailed in the Atlantic and the Caribbean" — Bellhalla (talk) 17:39, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
   • Design and construction: 'the great, great, granddaughter' - I am not sure if comma is the right way to go here. I think hyphens should be used.
     • Yes, you're right. Changed. — Bellhalla (talk) 17:39, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
   • Post-war: 'Departing from Brest for the last time on 16 December 1918, she headed for Boston, and a period of repairs in the navy yard.' - either incomplete or confusing.
     • Reworded. — Bellhalla (talk) 17:39, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.

   a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):

   • Tucker was acquired by the coast guard on 25 March (according to text) and on 26 March (according to infobox) - something is not right here.
     • The correct date was 25 March; one of the sources listed the date as "25 Mar 26" which must have been what threw me off. :) — Bellhalla (talk) 17:39, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

3. It is broad in its coverage.

   a (major aspects): b (focused):

4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.

   Fair representation without bias:

5. It is stable.

   No edit wars etc.:

6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.

   a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):

7. Overall:

   Pass/Fail:
