Taking this one. Review to follow after the Bot runs. Hawkeye7  (discuss)  21:38, 9 April 2021 (UTC) Look pretty good. Some comments:


 * Link River Tyne, Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom), Southampton, Portsmouth, satellite navigation, pintle, Falkland Islands, aircraft carrier, Port Stanley, English Channel
 * Done - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 * European Ferries is a duplicate link.
 * Delinked - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Commas after Netherlands, England, Sierra Leone, Southampton, Northern Ireland, India (MOS:GEOCOMMA)
 * I got these, I think - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Little bit confused here, probably because my geography of the UK is so bad. Was it built at the Neptune Yard at Walker-on-Tyne, or the Wallsend West Yard at Wallsend?
 * Sounds like your knowledge is better than mine! I confused the company HQ (Wallsend) with the yard (Neptune, at Walker).  Now fixed - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Any idea of the size of the crew?
 * Found the original crew in Clegg and added - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 * fitted with pintle-mounted Bren light machine guns as a rudimentary defence against low-level air attack That would work well against a modern jet aircraft.
 * Indeed, suspect it was largely of psychological benefit! - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Europic Ferry was one of the first vessels to be identified by the Ministry of Defence as required for the campaign, it was earmarked for use as a stores transport ship in early April. semi-colon instead of comma
 * Done - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 * After assembling to the east of the Falkland Islands the force sailed on 20 May Comma after Falkland Islands
 * Done - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Entering the bay in the early morning of 22 May she spent much of the day anchored offshore Comma after 22 May.

 * Capitalise "Chinook"
 * Done - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Suggest "HMS Hermes (R12)"
 * Done - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Med Link Lines is red-linked but Howill Shipping is not?
 * Redlinked Howill and Namora, not familiar with them but they seem reasonable targets for articles - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)


 * She sailed for the United Kingdom on 23 June carrying returning troops of 2nd and 3rd Battalion, Parachute Regiment. "Battalions"

 * Hi Hawkeye7. Sorry I forgot to watchlist this, so I missed your review.  I'm just waiting for a copy of Clegg (1969) which should arrive in the next week or so before I look at this one again. Many thanks - Dumelow (talk) 06:50, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Hawkeye7, I've added a few more details from Clegg and hopefully addressed your comments above. Cheers - Dumelow (talk) 11:12, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
