Introduction
The introduction consists simply of sentences copy-pasted from the body, rather than being a distillation of the subject. Could the author rewrite it? I've removed some of the redundancy, but haven't really done justice to it.--

Confusing
The U-366 was sunk by the same combination of Fairey Swordfish and RP-3 rocket on the 5 March,[15] and the U-973 on the 6 March 1944, three other U-boats sighted managed to evade an attack in the foggy conditions.[20][21]
While I'm addressing the grammatical/syntax issues, there are deeper, more fundamental issues with the style and organization of this piece that want clean-up. Some parts read like a list, and overall the article seems to need cohesion.--

You've got a lot of compound adjectives, Attacker class ship, strike carrier role, British built ships, etc. that need a hyphen between the two adjectives. I've changed a few, but there are others. I've cleaned up your conversions of lift, flight deck and hangar dimensions.
Dual-purpose guns are not AA guns by definition, although I'd not call the Mark V 4-inch gun a DP gun. Best to call it an AA gun, I think. Convert 98 tons of oil. Link lifts and hangar. You have boilers and steam turbines in the infobox, surely you mean diesels as per the main body?
B. Focused:
Not sure that I like the individual ships listed in the infobox, but that's your call and doesn't affect this review. I'd strongly suggest that you build a table listing significant dates for each ship like laid down, launched, commissioned or completed, etc. You've covered the general activities of each ship nicely, but the basic facts are missing.
I've added the data for the eight ships of the class that are discussed here, but where are the other three, Searcher, Ravager and Tracker? What about modifications to the ships after the accident with Dasher in 1943? And substitution of British radars and guns for American ones? Friedman, pp. 187-88 covers all this.--

Not according to Friedman, Conway's and Brown. The Attacker/Tracker class consisted of the ships ordered under FY42 and the Rulers were FY43 ships with significant internal differences. Friedman discusses the whole thing pretty thoroughly in his chapter on Trade Protection.--

Everything is "technically" fixed. If 3B remains a concern, then one of the OMT people will probably have to do some improvements to fix that; I'm far from an expert on this kinda stuff and probably wouldn't be able to put it in.

I don't have a copy of the book, and what I can find on Google, some of the things mentioned seem to refer to later Ruler class ships, such as conversion in Canada. The book I have and online references seem to show that the Attacker class were refit in Great Britain, most likely Liverpool. I have removed the section in question. If someone can provide me with evidence to the contrary I will gladly replace the information.

Bogue-class
Attacker is just a sub-class of Bogue?
We have articles covering the main class (Bogue) and the sub-classes Attacker, Ruler and Prince Wiliam. I was wondering if the sub-class articles should all be called up as Bogue-class escort carriers in the info box?
