  • Dabs and external links are good (no action required)
  • Image is licensed properly, though I would recommend alt text.
  • Lead: "She supported the BPF's attacks on the Japanese Home Islands from until until the end of the war in August from a base in the Admiralty Islands." - something is missing here.
  • "...had repaired 24 aircraft since her arrival." - what kinds of aircraft, what units and what kinds of damage? Just need some context as to what of the ship's designed duties it actually accomplished.
    • Source doesn't specify, but note that she didn't get to her base until 21 June, rather late in the campaign.
  • "Pioneer arrived in Hong Kong in late September to help with the rebuilding of the colony's infrastructure." - could also use a little more context, as-is, it begs the question what an aircraft-repairing ship could do for a colony on land.
    • Done.
  • "The ship sailed for Sydney the following month and departed for the UK on 17 February 1946." - why did she go to Sidney?
    • Not given, but probably because Sydney was the main base for the BPF.
  • "pon her arrival, she was placed in reserve." - where is the reserve fleet located?
    • More like which one? They had ships scattered among the major naval bases and didn't centralize things like the US.
  • Hobbs 2011 is in the references but not used in the text.
    • Deleted.
Nothing too big to fix for this GA review. —Ed!(talk) 21:23, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
