Notes

[edit]
  1. Assuming good faith for offline sources.
  2.  Done There are a lot of links in this article, including (as far as I can tell) each unit used (metric tons, long tons, kW, knots, mph, km/h) - are they all needed?
  3.  Done `AA guns` is linked to a redirect to Anti-aircraft warfare, which doesn't provide much help in the sentence Anti-aircraft defense was provided by four 3.7 cm (1.5 in) SK C/30 AA guns... - it is clear that the guns are "anti-aircraft defense [guns]"
  4. The biggest issue that I see is the lack of focus. The majority of the content is the `Design and description` section, which focuses on the design and description of Type 39s in general, not on this specific boat. While I understand that all of the boats were designed similarly, that content is, in my view, merely background information here. Without that section, the article would be only four sentences, and would only have one reference; the actual discussion of T34 itself is very minimal, and not well referenced. This article should be expanded; can anything about the aftermath of its destruction, or about what it did between when it was commissioned and when it sank, be added?
  5. The image is of German torpedo boat T35, and while I understand that the ships were similar, I'm not sure the image is appropriate. Are there any images of T34, or of all of the Type 39s together?
    Explanation accepted; best available image

I have placed this review on hold for now. The links and the specific image are minor issues that should be dealt with. The fact that only one reference is specifically for the content about this ship, and the fact that that content is so short, is the primary issue that needs to be remedied. Please ping me with any questions. Thanks, --DannyS712 (talk) 05:36, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
