Claiming this one, comments to follow. Zawed (talk) 02:21, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Generally, this is in excellent order, so only a few nitpicks:

  • Lead seems short relative to the overall length of the article
  • Perhaps a style thing, but it seems that British ranks aren't linked but German ones are?
  • Also a little inconsistency with how German ranks are presented, some in English and some German, e.g. Kapitän zur See Karl Topp commanded Tirpitz at this time.
    • I've stuck with the English language term for Großadmiral and the German term for Kapitän zur See as 'grand admiral' has a direct translation while Kapitän zur See does not. Nick-D (talk) 05:40, 1 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Manned torpedoes were used by the Italian Regia Marina...: suggest "Manned torpedoes were used by the Regia Marina (Italian Navy)" for consistency with presentation/translation of Kriegsmarine earlier in article
  • Sergeant Don Craig (a member of the British Army)...: suggest soldier instead of member
    • Done
  • Dupelinks: Home Fleet, Tautra, patrol boat
  • Sources look reliable (I am quite familiar with Bishop, Chesneau, Sweetman, and Chesneau) and predominantly published in the last 11 years
  • Image tags are all OK
  • Strictly a suggestion but perhaps add another image, maybe an additional one of a Chariot, to the Voyage to Trondheimsfjorden/Trondheimsfjorden sections
  • I did a few little tweaks as I went through and spotted what I thought were errors, check you are OK with these.

That's it for me. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 02:51, 19 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: Done.

Overall: The copy vio check identified quotes and some multiple-word combinations, like prisoner of war. There were also some like "the crew would then attempt" or versions of this. No issues found. The only question is whether to use an image. –CaroleHenson (talk) 23:45, 16 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As an FYI, I see that the article has moved to Template talk:Did you know/Approved. It is just a matter of time until a place is found for it.–CaroleHenson (talk) 16:19, 18 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
