Initial comments

[edit]
  • "She made trips to Europe in 1910 and 1911 and after 1912" - are the trips in 1910 and 1911 separate?
  • The lead is well written and summarises the article
  • "She had a crew of 827 officers and men, though this increased to 881 and later to 896" - when was this? Did she begin service with 827 men?
    • Yes, and this should be clarified now.
  • " On 1 July, Kansas steamed out of Norfolk to carry the remains of the Venezuelan ambassador" - remains? It didn't say what happened
    • DANFS doesn't say who the ambassador was or how he died, and I can't find any further information on him. I added "recently deceased" to the line to make it a bit clearer, though.
  • " to protect a fast HX troopship convoy" - what is HX?
    • It's a convoy designation - we have an article, HX convoys, but unfortunately it only focuses on the WWII use of the designation, so I didn't think it would be useful to link as it would probably confuse readers.
  • "Rear Admiral Charles Frederick Hughes raised his flag aboard Kansas in Philadelphia as the flagship of the 4th BatDiv"- the Kansas was a flagship at one point? This was not mentioned in the lead
