- Two dab links to fix.
- Done.
- "Her crew ranged from 1,187 to 1,224 officers and men." - what accounted for the difference in crewing? Did it need a smaller complement when there were fewer aircraft aboard?
- My sources don't specify, but I'd expect that fewer aircraft aboard would mean a smaller crew
- Also, I've been criticized at reviews in the past for "officers and men" (It implies officers aren't men) and there are a few instances of that in this text.
- As an ex-enlisted men, I could agree with that characterization, but I've changed it.
- "Her machinery, designed for merchant service, was over four times heavier that that of the Hiryū." - why is Hiryū the frame of reference here? Was it the heaviest carrier in the fleet, or the newest design to be compared to? Specify.
- Hiryu is what my source used. Its machinery was purpose-built for lightness, not like the heavier commercial-grade machinery in these ships.
- Overlinking of Solomon Islands.
- Fixed.
- Service history, 5th graph: "Hits in the starboard bow and boiler room knocked out all power, but she managed to return to Japan under her own power the following day" - this sentence sounds contradictory.
- Clarified.
- 6th graph: "Hiyō returned to Japan on 1 January 1944 and her air group rejoined her on 2 March, albeit without aircraft." - this also sounds contradictory.
- The unit was assigned to the ship, but lacked aircraft. Why? I don't know.
- Time elements should be 00:00 again. (and the local time zone might be helpful, too.)
- Military time.
- Colon added.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:46, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
- Military time.
- The Chesneau ref is unused in the text.
- Moved to further reading.
- Will check back soon. —Ed!(talk) 17:57, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
