 * GA review (see here for criteria)

Just a few prose issues and one referencing issue. I corrected some italicization and other minor MOS bits that would have taken longer to explain than to fix. — Bellhalla (talk) 19:55, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) It is reasonably well written.
 * a (prose): b (MoS):
 * The notation of the largest ship sunk to date, should be phrased in a less time-dependent manner. It would be better to use the template to note when the source said it was the largest sunk (even though it's unlikely that any larger ship will be sunk by a submarine any time soon).
 * I removed it altogether (it wasn't in my draft, and I cut it when I first rewrote the page - and then someone added it back in)Cam (Chat) 23:50, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The significance of the 1954 date for aircraft carrier size should be explained.
 * It's in one of the footnotes. Cam (Chat) 23:50, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * My apologies for overlooking it. :) — Bellhalla (talk) 04:08, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Remove the word ironically from the sentence beginning Although Shinano was faster than Archer-Fish …. (See PEACOCK for reasoning.)
 * Cut that entire section - again, it wasn't in the original draft. Someone's been reverting my modifications, and it's beginning to aggravate me. Cam (Chat) 23:50, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, for the same reason, mere from the sentence beginning While en-route… in the lead.
 * Fixed. Cam (Chat) 23:50, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) It is factually accurate and verifiable.
 * a (references): b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR):
 * The paragraph beginning Shinano's existence had been concealed so effectively… has no citations. Also, did the source call Shinano a leviathan? If so, it would be best to attribute it, or reword if not.
 * I also removed that sentence. Cam (Chat) 23:50, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) It is broad in its coverage.
 * a (major aspects): b (focused):
 * 1) It follows the neutral point of view policy.
 * Fair representation without bias:
 * 1) It is stable.
 * No edit wars etc.:
 * 1) It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
 * a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales): b (appropriate use with suitable captions):
 * 1) Overall:
 * Pass/Fail:
