• 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.
  • Done.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 22:14, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
• "...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)
