# Talk:Tucker-class destroyer

I made this up from Fitzsimons & navsource; I accept these spex as correct.  Trekphiler 01:28, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

The Tucker-class of destroyers in the United States Navy were built by the Fore River Shipbuilding Company and Bath Iron Works. Commissioned in 1915 and 1916, they served in World War I. They were similar to the O'Brien-class with the same 21" torpedo tubes.
Jacob Jones was the first US destroyer sunk in enemy action. The surviving ships, with the exception of Wadsworth, were transferred to the United States Coast Guard to be part of the Rum Patrol. By 1936, all five ships were sold for scrap.

As a follow up to the above draft, Sampson and all those after her were part of the Sampson class and not the Tucker class. — Bellhalla (talk) 18:32, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi there, I am happy to tell you that this article has passed GA without the need for any further improvement. Listed below is information on how the article fared against the Wikipedia:good article criteria. I have to say that I think this article is genuinely excellent and would support it at FAC as is if it came up there.--Jackyd101 (talk) 18:25, 8 May 2009 (UTC) 

It is reasonably well written.
a (prose):  b (MoS): 
It is factually accurate and verifiable.
a (references):  b (citations to reliable sources):  c (OR): 
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects):  b (focused): 
My only (minor) suggestion, is to give the number of sailors killed on Jacob Jones in that ship's synopsis.--Jackyd101 (talk) 18:25, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
Good point. I added it there (and in the lead of USS Jacob Jones (DD-61), upon which this summary was based). — Bellhalla (talk) 19:50, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
It follows the neutral point of view policy.
a (fair representation):  b (all significant views): 
It is stable.

It contains images, where possible, to illustrate the topic.
a (tagged and captioned):  b (lack of images does not in itself exclude GA):  c (non-free images have fair use rationales): 
Overall:
a Pass/Fail: 
Thankyou and congratulations, an excellent addition to Wikipedia:Good Articles. All the best.--Jackyd101 (talk) 18:25, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the review. One of my fastest GAs, ever! — Bellhalla (talk) 19:50, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
