Initial comments

 * The lead summarises the article well, so no problems here
 * "Virginia then proceeded to Norfolk, where she coaled before continuing on to Tompkinsville, Staten Island" - I don't think it's linked to the correct Norfolk (I laughed when I read it)
 * Whoops! Guess I should have checked the link ;)
 * "During this period, she had two brief stints as a flagship" - being a flagship (even briefly) seems notable, I think this should be mentioned in the lead?
 * Added a line
 * "where she joined the 3rd Division, Battleship Force, Atlantic Fleet" - might read better as where she joined the 3rd Division, Battleship Force of the Atlantic Fleet?
 * Seems fine to me.
 * "In September, Virginia returned to the Norfolk Navy Yard" - September of which year? It confused me as it's the opening of a new paragraph
 * Added the year - sometimes it can get a bit lost. Thanks for your review! Parsecboy (talk) 20:28, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

On hold
Very minor points, I wasn't even sure whether or not to put this on hold! It should take minutes to address them, so once they're clarified this can become another GA. JAG  UAR   16:22, 5 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks for addressing them! Looks good to go.  JAG  UAR   11:54, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
