Checking against the GA criteria

GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose, no copyvios, spelling and grammar): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
"HMS Fury was an F-class destroyer built for the Royal Navy in the 1930s" - could be more specific, was it not 1933?

"By July 1942, a Type 286 short-range surface-search radar" - de-link this if not notable

"Photos taken of the ship in July 1944 show her with a Type 271 radar mounted on her searchlight platform that was probably installed during her last refit" - this sentence needs a citation

"The ship cost 248,538 pounds" - why not £248,538?

"before beginning a brief refit on the Humber." - link the Humber

"On the night of 15/16 November she bombarded Leros with the destroyers Exmoor and ORP Krakowiak[42] On" - missing full stop
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (reference section): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
The assertions regarding the cameramen could be original research, but both candidates are included in the reference given.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
Fair representation without bias:
It is stable.
No edit wars, etc.:
It is illustrated by images and other media, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free content have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

Another well researched article that has nothing to major enough to constitute it being put on hold. I noticed a few minor prose issues, but they can be addressed any time. JAGUAR 21:08, 30 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
