There's no technical problem with her English; it's got proper pronunciation, inflection, grammar, and the like, w ith the possible exception of "admiral" which may or may not be a valid-but-archaic pronunciation.

On the other hand, the delivery of her lines leaves something to be desired, and some of her lines where she mixes Japanese and English are particularly awkward (which is probably to be expected when you switch languages mid-sentence). Beyond that, I also think that her voice sounds too young. It just doesn't fit a ship called the "Grand Old Lady." (Some of her lines, as well. I can't really see Warspite being the same kind of fangirl over the IJN battleships and the like that Iowa is. It worked with Iowa because she makes sense as an energetic-but-inexperienced type, being the "youngest" battleship; Warspite...not so much.)

Basically, there's no problem with her English in and of itself, but her voice acting is still less-than-stellar: not bad, but it's not great either. Doesn't help that having good English means she pretty much falls into the same area as the "dub vs sub" debate for me: I prefer subs because if the English voice is terrible it will constantly grate on my ears, but if the Japanese voice is terrible I can't tell the difference, so the end result is that an English voice has to be pretty superlative for me to really like it.
