The nominators have done such good work preparing this series of articles, I'll just go ahead and review them all. Reviews should be up in the next few days. -

GA review (see
here for what the criteria are, and
here for what they are not)
I've copyedited the article a bit, and now it's at a good prose standard. It complies with all the relevant MoS sections, with one exception: the fact that Splendid was the most successful WWII British submarine in total tonnage sunk (appropriately mentioned and cited in the body) is quite significant and should be mentioned in the lead section.
I'll have to AGF on the offline book sources, but online sources appear to confirm the substance of the article. Uboat.net isn't necessarily a reliable source, but it claims that its details come from the British National Archives, and I guess I'm willing to accept that.
The article seems to cover all the major aspects of the topic (design, construction, service history), and doesn't get lost in any excessive detail. It's a minor detail and might seem obvious, but I wish the text that discusses the boat's name pointed out that all the S-class subs were given names that begin with 'S'.
It's a common naming practice, especially for the RN. See

All the images are relevant and appear to have valid licenses. I've restored an image that was commented out.

Pass/Fail:
Only a couple of details, and this one will be ready for promotion! -

With the lead section updated, and given the discussion at the other S-Class subs, I retract my comment about 'S'-names, and this article is promoted! -
