If the count used on the GAN page is correct, this will be my 400th GA review. Hog Farm Talk 02:20, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

For the required spot-checks: could you please give the relevant quote(s) from the source for the following statements in the article?
 * Even if there's no picture available for this ship, would it be good to include a photograph of a ship of the class, so that the reader can at least see the general appearance of that type of vessel?
 * "Fougueux was ordered in April 1927" - infobox has 3 May
 * "The ship was still in Casablanca when Armistice with Germany was signed on 25 June" - wasn't if effective on 25 June but actually signed earlier?
 * I think a sentence indicating that after the armistice the Vichy French were cooperating with the Germans would be helpful for readers not already familiar with WWII
 * Jean Bart is linked to a SIA page instead of the correct article
 * All done--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:26, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
 * "Augusta opened fire at Fougueux at a range of 19,000 yards (17,000 m) at 0843"
 * At 0843 Augusta shot the first of six nine-gun salvos at Fougueu from 19,00 yards
 * "On 29 March 1940, the ship's ASDIC set detected a submarine and Fougueux attacked the contact with depth charges, but it was almost certainly a sunken wreck."
 * “On 29 March, convoy 76KS was being escorted by Fougueux, the sloop Chevreuil, and the APVs l’Ajaccienne and La Toulonnaise. Fougueux obtained a contact on her Asdic set and attacked with depth charges, but the contact was almost certainly a submerged wreck.”
 * "The sloop La Gracieuse managed to do so around 1200."
 * At 1152 Giffen, reacting to an unconfirmed report, radioed Tuscaloosa and Wichita that there was a “cruiser laying smoke screen southwest of Casa Blanca and heading down coast. Intercept and sink her.” La Gracieuse used this opening to reach Fougueux’s survivors.

Thanks for the review.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:26, 28 April 2024 (UTC)
