 * in the lead, link mobilisation as it is a bit jargony
 * Ha, I remembered to do that on Washington but not this one.
 * also in the lead, perhaps mention that she was on the east coast before the war, a bit of assumed knowledge
 * Good idea
 * also in the lead, link ship commissioning for decommissioned
 * Done
 * suggest "which added a restriction on her main battery of guns that they be no larger than 14 inches (360 mm)"
 * Works for me
 * comma after ""standard" series"
 * I don't think one is needed there - there are only two things being considered in that sentence - standard type battleships or fast battleships
 * the horsepower is shp in the body and just hp in the infobox
 * Fixed
 * not sure what to do about the crew numbers, don't we use s designed in the infobox, therefore 1,800?
 * Good catch
 * the conversion for the 16 in guns varies from 410 mm to 406 mm
 * Fixed
 * also, I'm not sure about the use of 16", should perhaps be 16 in?
 * Good idea
 * no conversion of 5 in in the body?
 * Added
 * the caliber of the 1.1 in guns isn't provided in the body
 * Removed from the box
 * "South Dakota class" is a dab
 * Good catch
 * "more advanced Mark 8 sets"
 * Fixed
 * with the replacement AA guns, it switches to metric first, which jars a bit
 * Yeah, but that's how they were designated - nobody calls them 0.79" Oerlikons
 * suggest "By June 1943, her anti-aircraft armament was had been increased"
 * Good catch
 * consistency with hyphenation "twin-mounts and twenty single mounts"
 * Fixed
 * "The keel for North Carolina was laid down on 27 October 1937 at the New York Naval Shipyard on 27 October 1937"
 * Whoops
 * " t The Navy briefly considered"
 * Fixed
 * "a combination from of rapid maneuvering"
 * Fixed
 * there is a bit of assumed knowledge about what sort of ships Indiana and Massachusetts were
 * Added a descriptor to the first reference to Indiana, but don't you think saying the battleship group consisted of this one and two other names should be fairly explicit?
 * "The ships to bombarded the island of Nauru"
 * Must've gotten rewritten too many times
 * once you use TF, go with it throughout
 * Fixed
 * "In the course of the battle, North Carolina shot down two Japanese aircraft during the battle "
 * Fied
 * link Tinian
 * Done
 * suggest "to hit targets i on Kyushu"
 * Done
 * "and the Ryukus continued after the landing on Okinawa"
 * Fixed
 * suggest "the fast carrier task force was had been transferred back to Third Fleet"
 * Fixed
 * "by a group of nine tugboats"
 * Whoops
 * suggest "Work to maintain the ship and improve the facility are is an on-going effort s "
 * Works for me
 * all the image licensing looks fine.
