I'll get to this soon. ♦ jaguar 15:11, 22 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • The lead summarises the article in accordance to WP:LEAD
  • "The ships differed from the six preceding Thornycroft M-class built by the yard" - where was the yard in question? Southampton? Don't worry about specifying if it isn't possible
  • "along with four 21 in (533 mm)" - inch
  • "The following year, the ship was credited with the destruction of the submarine SM UB-54" - perhaps de-link submarine here

In light of its length and well-written prose I'll promote this outright. It meets the GA criteria both on prose and comprehensibility, owing to its short service history. I couldn't find any other issues with the article and enjoyed reading it. The above points are very minor nitpicks, but otherwise this is definitely GA standard. Well done - I'll be on the lookout to reviewing more Royal Navy GANs. jaguar 14:01, 23 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
