Can somebody source a photograph of HMS Beagle
Service history needs to be expanded, prehaps more on liberation of the channel islands which is her main 'claim to fame'  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fdsdh1 (talk • contribs) 19:04, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

I will review this one, comments to follow. Zawed (talk) 22:31, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
Description

In the text, the turbines are as Brown-Curtis when infobox says they are Parsons.
Complement is 134 in text but 138 in infobox (I assume the infobox should refer to its peacetime complement not its wartime).
"...and 'Y' gun was removed...": "...and the 'Y' gun was removed..." (or perhaps her).
Actually, since the gun is named, I don't believe that either suggestion is appropriate. They'd be fine if the text used "third" gun.
That's fine. Zawed (talk) 07:18, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
Construction and service

"...4 April – 17 September 1938...": the dash should be to, as per the following sentence which uses this format.
"This assignment only two months...": "This assignment lasted only two months..."?
"The ship was tasked to blockade the German-occupied ports...": "The ship was tasked with the blockade of the German-occupied ports
I don't agree with these; your suggestion turns the sentence into passive voice. The existing text is simpler and more direct.
I can accept that; slipping into passive voice is a bad habit of mine. Zawed (talk) 07:18, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
Other stuff

Image tag looks fine.
Duplicate link: John Brown & Company
No dab links.
Running Checklinks, the external link to u-boat net is described as suspicious (but it works for me?).
That's all for now, will check back in a few days. Zawed (talk) 22:56, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for catching the little inconsistencies between the infobox and text.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:58, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
Passing as GA. Cheers. Zawed (talk) 07:18, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
Just to add to "other stuff". HMS Beagle appears in the Ealing Studios production of "The Big Blockade" (1941), a wartime propaganda film.80.111.155.138 (talk) 16:09, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
