I'll take a look at this shortly. Harrias ^talk 14:38, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, life got away from me a little. Review below:

References

References all appear to be to reliable sources.
References are consistently formatted in an appropriate style.

Images

Only one images is used in the article, which is appropriately licensed and captioned. Consider adding alt text, but this is not a GA requirement.

Prose

No duplicate or disambiguation links.
It would be nice to include the date of her sinking in the lead.
"..as the IJN intended.." Explain the abbreviation on first use.
"The Tachibanas had a range.." Is this a copy and paste error?
- You betcha!
"The ships carried a total of 25 Type 96 25-millimeter (1 in) anti-aircraft guns in 4 triple and 13 single mounts." The infobox says 4 triple and 12 single.
"..was returning to Japan on three days later.." No need for "on".
"..spotted by a search plane from Task Force 58's Task Group 58.1 (TG 58.1)." Clarify which nation TG 58.1 was with.
"..that sank all but one of the cargo ships and damaging three of the escorts." sank/damaging are not the same tense: swap damaging to damaged.
"The survivors continue north towards.." And change this to "continued".
"The convoy is caught.." "was caught".

A few minor prose issues, but otherwise typically good work. Harrias ^talk 15:26, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching all these niggles.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:29, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

All sorted, passing now. Harrias ^talk 21:00, 29 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
