I'll review this article shortly. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 02:48, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the issues I found:

"During the Spanish Civil War of 1936–1939 the ship spent enforced the arms blockade" no idea what the 'spent' is meant to mean there; presume it should be removed.
"both sides of the conflictas part" as part
"She remained with Ark Royal's" you mean just Ark Royal?
The infobox has her laid down on march 26, while the text says march 27; which is it?
- All fixed, thanks for the review.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:55, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll put the article on hold and will pass it when the issues are fixed. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 03:04, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Everything checks out now, so the article passes. Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 18:21, 22 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Johnson boiler[edit]

Rippon, 1998, states that Hyperion was built with a Johnson boiler as a trial, instead of one of its three Admiralty three-drum boilers. Does anyone know more? Andy Dingley (talk) 17:10, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
