There shouldn't be a period in the caption of the image, as its not a complete sentence.
I linked flagship at first mention in the lede, hopefully that's ok.
That's all. Good work, and on hold.

Good catch on the period - it was in the article when I rewrote it and I didn't notice it. Good call on linking flagship in the intro too. Is there anything else you'd like to see done with the article? Thanks for your review. Parsecboy (talk) 20:22, 7 July 2012 (UTC)
Everything taken care of. Article passes GA. Congratulations! MathewTownsend (talk) 11:57, 8 July 2012 (UTC)

Dimensions are a relatively common source of confusion with ships/boats. Some of the print references may be questionable.

Masséna was 112.650m between perpendiculars - in this case from the furthest (submerged) extent of the bow to the axis of the rudder. (LBP)
116.785m on design waterline (LWL)
117.120m overall (LOA)
Dimensions are from primary source - drawings from Marine Nationale / Ateliers et Chantiers de la Loire.  206.47.94.227 (talk) 17:30, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

Conway's did give the correct figure of 112.65m for the length between perpendiculars - I just linked to the wrong article inadvertently. Thanks for catching my mistake. Parsecboy (talk) 17:40, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
