Considerations

 * Overlinking. This has been the main constant problem in the naval warship articles I have reviewed (of which this is the third). It must be remembered that a term/name should only be linked once in the article. Personally I count links in the infobox as part of this number, however in certain contexts a term linked in the infobox may also be linked in the article's body. But in a small article like this, where the infobox is prominent, it would be best to have the link in either the infobox or the article, but not both. However, be that as it may there still remained a number of names/terms that were repeatedly linked - I have removed those as necessary. Additionally, and I am not sure if I spotted this in the other articles reviewed (or if it was even evident there) but I do not think terms such as "mph" or "kp/h" should be linked - as these are part of formulas I have left them but would urge them to be unlinked. Having said that, terms like "kPa" pr "psi" should be linked, the difference being they are not widely used by the public.


 * Otherwise the article keeps to the good standard that can be found in the naval warships pages. The prose and text are well written. My only criticism is the length of the lead, which could possibly be expanded. However, it does succinctly summarise the article's content, and as the article is comparatively short the lead's length does not prevent the article from meeting GA standards. ✽ Juniper§ Liege   (TALK)  06:40, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
