Hi, I am reviewing this article and it quite well written. I have only a few comments:

Service history

• "1912 followed a similar pattern, though the summer cruise to Norway was interrupted by the Agadir crisis" - suggest rewording so sentence doesn't start with a number
  • Fixed. Parsecboy (talk) 15:02, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Battle of Jutland

• "and straddled Indomitable several times" - is "straddled" in this context a ship term?
  • It's used frequently in this context to describe a salvo of shells falling around a ship (i.e, some on one side, some on the other). Do you have any ideas how this could be made clearer? Parsecboy (talk) 15:02, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
    • "Fired several near misses"? Buggie111 (talk) 15:21, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Expedition to Finland

• "They departed for the Åland Islands on the following morning. Åland was to be a forward operating base, from which the port of Hanko would be secured, following an assault on the capital of Helsingfors." - I think I know what you mean, but perhaps it could be clearer.
  • How does it look now? Parsecboy (talk) 15:02, 28 May 2010 (UTC)
