I'll snag this one. Parsecboy (talk) 12:40, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

I'd link laid up in the lead, it's a little jargony and readers may miss the link in the body
There's one dupe link (for John Sloat)
Per MOS:ORDINAL, don't use ordinals for dates
As a general point, I try to provide the ship type each time I name another vessel, so readers have some sense of what we're talking about.
Stockton's squadron continued to resupply the garrison, that by the end of the year, was able to recapture both San Diego and Los Angeles - this reads awkwardly. I'd suggest Stockton's squadron continued to resupply the garrison, which was able to recapture both San Diego and Los Angeles by the end of the year.
Probably not in the sources, but any idea on any other specification changes as a result of the razeeing? I'd assume displacement and crew were different, at very least
Images check out
Sources are good quality, formatted uniformly
Nicely done, these are mostly just nitpicks. Parsecboy (talk) 13:37, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

Okay, this is working now. I was getting errors while trying to edit the GA review page directly, but I guess replies work(?)
Done
Fixed, good eye!
Oops
That's a great point. I added a description to Congress and Levant + Cyane.
Great idea!
I checked again and could find nothing on that matter.
Thank you for the review! With those points addressed, is there anything else? GGOTCC 13:16, 3 September 2025 (UTC)
I figured not on the last point - I'm happy to promote at this point, nice work! Parsecboy (talk) 14:00, 3 September 2025 (UTC)

The image in the infobox looks fine by itself, but it's a little too big for my liking. Could you make it a little smaller so it doesn't take up so much space? (MOS:INFOBOXIMAGE)
This is my first time looking at a Warfare GAN so I'm not quite sure what the consensus on this is, but shouldn't the lead begin with "The USS Savannah was..." for grammatical accuracy?

Clarifying that these are optional and I doubt they'll have too much of an impact. That's all for me. Gommeh 📖/🎮 18:56, 2 September 2025 (UTC)

The size of an infobox image is set by the template. The only method to make the image smaller is to crop it, but that should only be done if the subject is not in focus. Could you explain how MOS:INFOBOXIMAGE relates to the article?
USS Savannah is a proper noun, so a definitive article is not required. A quick check of ship articles listed under Wikipedia:Good articles/Warfare shows no GA articles that places 'the' before a ship name, but good question.

I don't think I had the right interpretation of MOS:INFOBOXIMAGE then... I thought it meant the image shouldn't be too big or too small, but I guess I was wrong about that! Lol. Gommeh 📖/🎮 13:52, 3 September 2025 (UTC)
