Guess I'll take this one too... Again, review up shortly... Dana boomer (talk) 21:46, 28 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose): b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):
Lead, "in the shortly before". In the what?

Lead, "were built to this class" Is "built to" common vernacular in naval writing? I would think it sounded better as "built in" or "built of".

Both fixed - that's the problem with rewriting sentences several times :)

Dimensions and machinery, "Marine steam turbines" Is Marine a brand? Otherwise, why is it capitalized?

Groner capitalizes it, so I followed that.
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references): b (citations to reliable sources): c (OR):
Same question - what makes No Limits Diving a reliable source?

See my reply at the SMS Wiesbaden GAN page.
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, where possible and appropriate.
a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
Overall:
Pass/Fail:

A few thoughts on prose and one question on the reliability of a source; other than that, everything looks good. Let me know if you have any questions, Dana boomer (talk) 00:37, 29 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK, everything looks good, so I'm going to pass the article to GA status. As always, nice work! Dana boomer (talk) 00:34, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
