N.B. 3a) The article is a bit on the short side. It does contains information relevant to the topic and is "broad" in its coverage. However, looking at other ship articles i believe all the necessary aspects are covered. However, the article should be enlarged with more information on development and operational history. Another picture or two would also benifit this article.
However, it does meet the good article criteria and is awarded good article status. Ajpralston1 (talk) 18:13, 5 September 2009 (UTC)
