Initial comments

 * "Maine served in the Atlantic for the entirety of her career with the North Atlantic Fleet" - what about the Great White Fleet? Were they separate?
 * The "Great White Fleet" was just a nickname - the actual unit was still the Atlantic Fleet
 * The lead summarises the article well, so this meets the criteria
 * There are inconsistencies with "in" and "inch" in the Description section
 * Fixed.
 * "Armor that was 6 in thick" - this needs a metric conversion
 * It's converted in the paragraph above, for the secondary battery
 * "Following their arrival, Maine was assigned as the flagship of the 3rd Squadron" - if it served as a flagship twice then this could be a worthy mention in the lead
 * Added a line on that.
 * "She returned to service on 15 June 1911 for service with the Atlantic Fleet" - repetition of "service", it might be better to rephrase this to something like She returned to active duty on 15 June 1911 for service with the Atlantic Fleet
 * Fixed.

On hold
Sorry for the delay in reviewing this, I've been very busy lately! The points again are very minor and won't take long to address, as all of the battleship articles I've reviewed are compact and in excellent shape. JAG UAR   14:27, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for promoting them! This article meets the GA criteria - another one to the collection  JAG  UAR   23:03, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
