I will review, comments to follow in due course. Zawed (talk) 08:06, 1 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Design and description - inconsistency with infobox wrt to displacement at deep load
Design and description - Their crew.. should be "Her crew" since the discussion at this point is about the ship, not the class. Also the complement number differs here to what is in the infobox
Design and description - the armour thickness in the text is given in mm but in the infobox as cm
Construction and career - this may be a terminology thing in respect of recommissioned, but shouldn't there be a "was" in the middle here: Hawkins recommissioned... Also suggest explicitly stating recommissioned as a heavy cruiser, as per the infobox.
- British books on warships often omit the helping verbs like was for some reason.
Wartime service - Is there a link for British invasion of Italian Somaliland? It is more specific a name than the East African Campaign used in the lead.
- No link.
Sources - Campbell listed but not cited. Also location of publisher inconsistency for some sources.
Image tags look OK, no dupe links

That's it for me. Zawed (talk) 23:54, 10 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All done, see if my changes are satisfactory.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:12, 19 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

OK, passing as GA now since I believe the article meets the necessary criteria. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 20:13, 21 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
