I'll take a look at this shortly. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 16:15, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Prelim

 * No duplicated links
 * No edit wars
 * Image correctly licensed
 * Earwig reports copyvio unlikely

Lede and infobox

 * "Acorn class was"
 * Corrected.
 * "the ship joined the Grand Fleet based at Devonport" this suggests that the Grand Fleet, rather than the destroyer, was based at Devonport, which I don't believe is true?
 * Good spot. I have added a conjunction to make it clear.
 * "and potentially sank U-69" also, could this not equally be U-44?
 * U-44 was neither damaged nor sunk in the attack. I have added that to the body.

Design and description

 * "Acorn class was"
 * Corrected.
 * I think a word or two on the intended role of destroyers would be useful towards the start of this, otherwise the reader is launched in rather suddenly
 * I have added a bit of context. Please tell me if you feel there should be more.
 * Link aft
 * Linked.

Construction and career

 * "undertake escort duties" escorting what?
 * Clarified.
 * Link Dover
 * Linked.
 * "merchant shipping had ceased" perhaps clarify where shipping had ceased? This could be misinterpreted!
 * Clarified.
 * "instead the ships continued to have to route via the western coast of Britain." in connection to the previous point, this doesn't currently make much sense
 * True.
 * "sunk" > "sank"
 * Fixed.
 * "The depth" no capital needed
 * I have amended the sentence so hopefully it is clearer.
 * "are reported to have damaged the submarine." by who?
 * Added.
 * Link Lough Swilly
 * Linked.
 * Link port
 * Linked.
 * "3 other destroyers" believe your rule is to spell out single digit numbers
 * Fixed.
 * "it may also" capital I
 * Fixed.
 * Was Drake torpedoed under Martin's escort or did Martin only turn up afterwards?
 * Clarified.
 * "keel over" suggest capsize
 * Amended.
 * "Arabis-class sloop Delphinium" suggest being consistent on whether you state the class of ships; you do for some e.g. here but not others e.g. Drake
 * Good spot. Added Drake.
 * "Armistice,Martin" space
 * Added.
 * "However, the Royal Navy returned" > "The Royal Navy afterwards returned"
 * Corrected.
