I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 02:48, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

  • "During the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939 the ship spent enforced the arms blockade" no idea what the 'spent' is meant to mean there; presume it should be removed.
  • "both sides of the conflictas part" as part
  • "She remained with Ark Royal's" you mean just Ark Royal?
  • The infobox has her laid down on march 26, while the text says march 27; which is it?

I'll put the article on hold and will pass it when the issues are fixed. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 03:04, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Everything checks out now, so the article passes. Wizardman Operation Big Bear 18:21, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Rippon, 1998, states that Hyperion was built with a Johnson boiler as a trial, instead of one of its three Admiralty three-drum boilers. Does anyone know more? Andy Dingley (talk) 17:10, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
