generally looks good to my uneducated eyes. I made a couple of minor tweaks and had a look at the image licences. Most seem fine, but I think that "File:BB05 Kearsarge BB06 Kentucky USN photo www.navsource.org.jpg", probably needs a date, and, if possible, the specific url that links directly to the

This is repetitive: "On 18 August 1918 Kearsarge rescued 26 survivors of the
Norwegian barque Nordhav which had been sunk by U-117, bringing the survivors to Boston." Specifically use of "survivors" twice in the same sentence. Consider instead "On 18 August 1918 Kearsarge rescued 26 survivors of the

became flagship of the North
Atlantic Squadron, sailing down the Atlantic seaboard and in the Caribbean Sea. As flagship of the European Squadron, she sailed from": This will make some readers pause to wonder if the article contradicts itself, or if she was somehow flagship of two squadrons.

The ship's post World War I career is covered fairly lightly, but I'm assuming this is due to the fact that it did little of note. Can anything further be added or is this reflective of the literature (happy to strike cmt if it is)?

956:. Kearsarge was christened by the wife": Four things here (see if you can spot all four!) ... none is wrong but I think we prefer it this way: She was christened on 24 March 1898 (the same day as her sister ship,

This seems a little redundant to me: "Her keel was laid down by the
Newport News Shipbuilding Company of Newport News, Virginia...", maybe just "Her keel was laid down by the Newport News Shipbuilding Company

609:"With over fifty years of service, she is the US battleship with the longest service time." Tense seems a little off here. The ship was sold for scrap so I assume no longer exists.
638:" As flagship of the European Squadron, she sailed from Sandy Hook on 3 June, on her way to Kiel, Germany." What year? As its a new section I think this needs to be clarified pls.

Perhaps something like: "She was converted into a crane ship in 1920, renamed in 1941 and sold for scrap in 1955" left out a few bits, but you should be able to get the drift.

In 1920 she was converted to a crane ship, in 1941 she was renamed to Crane Ship No. 1, and she served in that capacity until she was sold for scrap in 1955.
