Lead

 * HMS Algerine was the lead ship of her class of minesweepers... I would add the word "namesake" between her and class to make it more obvious what that meant. I had to click the wikilink to understand it.
 * ...she was torpedoed by the Italian submarine Ascianghi, with eight survivors. Instead of "with eight survivors," I would add "...causing her to sink leaving only 8 survivors.
 * Changed both. Mat  ty  .  007

Description

 * At the end of the first paragraph of this section it says :(Lenton 1998, p. 261) I assume this should be a reference.
 * Sorry! Changed. Mat  ty  .  007

Career

 * Her sister ships from the 9th Flotilla HMS Alarm and HMS Albacore joined her, along with HMS Acute, and HMS Cadmus. I would change "along with" to "as did" and if you can find out where they came from (what Flotilla or commission) I would include that at the end of the sentence.
 * ...commanded by Lieutenant commander Erler... I would include the lieutenant's first name. According to the Italian Wikipedia's article about the submarine, his name was Rino Erler.
 * The submarine had first fired two torpedoes at the middle ship in the trio... Do we know which was the middle ship?
 * Changed, but no further info available. Mat  ty  .  007
