Significant actions
G'day, I've taken a run through the article to copy edit it in preparation for its GA review. One thing I noticed while going through is that the War duty section does not really seem to indicate if the ship was involved in any significant actions. Did the ship sink or attack any U-boats, etc? Is there any information available on this aspect? If so, I think it should be added. The other suggestion that I have is to include the details that are in the infobox in the relevant sections in prose. For instance, the sonar/ASDIC and radar does not seem to be mentioned, nor does the displacement, range, beam or draught. As always, please feel free to adjust any of my copy edits if you don't agree with. Good luck with the GAN. Cheers, AustralianRupert (talk) 01:59, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * The ship never saw any action. That's why she was called the 'luckiest ship in the navy'. She came close to action with convoy HX229 but turned back at St. John's because this was the easternmost part of the Western Local Escort Force's jurisdiction. I will think about adding the other info. Thanks for your comments. Atrian (talk) 03:00, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for the reply. In that case, I'd suggest tweaking the wording in the article a little. For instance, "During her time in the Battle of the Atlantic she was never fired upon, which earned her the reputation as the "luckiest ship in the Royal Canadian Navy"" could possibly be changed to something like: "During her time in the Battle of the Atlantic she was never fired upon nor had cause to use her own weapons in anger. This earned her the reputation as the "luckiest ship in the Royal Canadian Navy"." Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) 03:17, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * While the former is true the latter seems to be speculation. But after checking with the source it seems likely that she was never fired on by enemy ships since the convoys she was with were never attacked. So I made your suggested change. Atrian (talk) 13:12, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
