Grabbing this for a review. Miyagawa (talk) 20:22, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

• Description: I'm being really picky, but I'm getting worried this might be a straight pass! :) - link "anti-aircraft armament" to Anti-aircraft warfare
  • Good idea.
• Construction and career: You've linked to Naval Base Simon's Town on the second occasion it is mentioned.
  • You sure? I'm only seeing it once, although there a mention of Simon's Town at the end of the previous para.
• Change "It was obsolete by 1972 and was taken out of service on 15 March." to start with "Natal" instead of "It", only because you mentioned another ship more recently. I didn't find it particularly confusing, but some might.
  • Agreed.

That's the lot. Nice job, and a ship with an interesting history. Never heard of one sinking an enemy submarine while being worked up before! That can't be all that common, I'd think. Miyagawa (talk) 20:33, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

• I think it is, especially only hours out of the shipyard. Only thing that would be even more exceptional would be to sink one on trials, but I can't remember if that's ever happened. Thanks for the review.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:17, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

• Great. Happy to pass, I re-read the Simon's Town bit and yeah, I misread the previous mention as the navy base. Miyagawa (talk) 22:32, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
