272:"After Normandy, the Allies decided to invade Toulon in an operation that was codenamed Operation Dragoon" isn't correct as this operation was approved and planned well before the landing at Normandy, and was actually pushed back from the original plan for a simultaneous landing with the one at Normandy

s limited deck armour was a "possible design flaw" and then that it was actually a flaw. This is a bit confusing, and may be a bit unfair given that when the ships were designed aircraft posed nothing like the threat they did in 1941 - surely the flaw was a failure to increase the ships' armour as

Scarily, that is all I could find. Using OR, I would assume that she participated in the Fleet
Problems somewhere, but everyone glosses over all of her inter-war years with the exception of the 1929 refit. Bonner on pg. 104 would be the only one who might explain, but that's one of the the
740:
Speaking of scout aircraft, there's no mention of them in the article other than in the infobox. What kind did she carry? Considering the difference in the "as built" and "1942" references in the infobox, was this done after she was refit after the Pearl Harbor attack, or some time prior?
718:
In the article is states "In particular, using oil gave the new class an engineering advantage over the earlier coal-fired plants," but it doesn't state why this is an advantage over coal-fired powerplants. I think some explanation of why oil is superior should be included.

It seems a bit odd that almost a third of the ship's history is limited to the single sentence "Nevada served in the
Pacific Fleet for the next eleven years" - is there nothing at all to say about her activities during the 1930s and the lead up to war in the Pacific?
210:
The 'Attack on Pearl Harbor' section needs an introduction explaining why the ship was at Pearl Harbor, where she was moored, her combat readiness, etc - it's a bit tabloid to start with a quick description of the start of the attack before going into these
89:"The new battleships of the Nevada class were the first two in the U.S. Navy to have triple gun turrets" - it'd suggest that you tweak the last bit of this sentence to something like "gun turrets with three guns" so it's a bit clearer.\

In "Attack on Pearl Harbor," it states "...but the other exploded within the ship near the gasoline tank." Perhaps adding something in about why the ship carried gasoline (for the scout aircraft and motor launches, I'm sure).

While the referencing (should) be picturesque, please make a run-through of the prose, as I'm not sure that it is perfect (maybe FA quality, but not perfect =])......and thank you all for helping me out! Cheers,

It's a great idea to ask for a peer review before nominating a FA for the main page - nice work on doing this. I think that the article is generally great, and have only the following minor suggestions.

as operating with the 3rd Fleet, though neither provides a task list/order of battle so its quite possible that she was operating with the 3rd Fleet but was kept in reserve.

Morison after the chapters on Okinawa, so all I could provide is the pages where he lists the BBs which bombarded Japan - would this be helpful?
