Likewise .. shouldn't it be ``United States (U.S.) Senator, given we should always explain abbreviations on first use? ** Linkie for ``commissioned``? ** For the non-military - ``tours`` is what? Link? ** Curiosity - you mention a lot of the peacetime duties she had after the Korean War, but none from before it - seems a bit odd. * Construction: ** ``Boxer was one of the 24...`` Shouldn't Boxer be italicized and I think ``Boxer was one of 24...`` would flow better. ** What the heck is ``CV-21``? (I get that it's her hull number but non-miliary folks won't) needs explanation. ** Linkie ``flight deck`` ** Linkie ``refit``? ** Linkie ``displacement`` ** ``Like other Essex-class ships, she could be armed with 12 5 inch (127 mm)/38 caliber guns arrayed in four pairs and four single emplacements, as well as 8 quadruple Bofors 40 mm guns and 46 Oerlikon 20 mm cannons. However, unlike the typical ships of the line, Philippine Sea was armed instead with 72 40mm guns and 35 20 mm cannons.`` ... errr... is ``Phllippine Sea`` a typo for ``Boxer`` or if not, why do we care since this is the Boxer article? We want to know what Boxer was armed with ... ** ``U.S.`` is generally used in the US, not ``US``. (pet peeve - we aren't Brits, scared of periods - err. full stops.) ** ``She was launched on December 14, 1944...`` Better specify the hull number here because the last mentioned ``she`` is the 1905 training ship. ** Why the HECK are we naming US warships after British warships we captured??? Curiosity abounds here... ** ``The ships' cost is estimated at $68,000,000 to $78,000,000.`` - shouldn't this be ``ship's cost was estimated``? * Service history: ** ``She returned to San Francisco on 10 September 1946, embarked Carrier Air Group 19 flying the F8F Bearcat, and began a series of peacetime patrols and training missions during a relatively uneventful period during 1947, all off the coast of California.`` Runon- can we break this up into something easier to digest? ** ``On 10 March 1948, an FJ-1 Fury launched from Boxer, the first such launch of a jet aircraft from a carrier, which allowed subsequent tests of jet aircraft carrier doctrine.`` This tidbit would be cool in the lead... * Korean War: ** ``She carried 145 P-51 Mustangs and six L-5 Sentinels of the..`` I think the MOS says that when making sentences like this - you use all numerals, not the mix you currently have. Yeah, see WP:ORDINAL, second bullet point. ** ``the UN forces`` - you need to introduce this abbreviation on the first usage of United Nations ... wherever it is. ** Suggest mentioning that the F4U Corsair is also a non-jet aircraft, since it was mentioned in the previous paragraph. ** ``En route`` ... shouldn't this be ``Enroute`` or ``En-route``? ** ``and the squadrons were the first Naval Reserve pilots to launch strikes in Korea.`` ... shouldn't this be ``and her squadrons``? ** ``The ships prompted a l
