No Motor Launches

The R-Boote were no Motor Launches. They were used for many purposes that's true, but they were originaly an at first small Minesweepers.--WerWil (talk) 18:37, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Which class is detailed in "Infobox"?

As the article mentions 9 classes of ships considered "R-boats", it's not cleat to which of these the data in the infobox corresponds. Can anyone please help clarify? Thanks & regards, DPdH (talk) 11:55, 3 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Article expansion

Dear wikipedians, I'm working on expanding this article by adding the usual sections ("Development", "Design", "Operational use", etc) to get it to "B-class". However I can't find verifiable sources at hand (online or bibliographic), for this task; so any tips in this respect will be greatly appreciated. Thanks & regards, DPdH (talk) 05:08, 4 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wrong Classes

The classes in the box like R1 or R17 are wrong. In the Kriegsmarine classes of boats where not named after the first units. I guess it is an adaption of what is usual in the Royal and US navies and the Deutsche Marine today, but this is historically incorrect.--WerWil (talk) 17:21, 2 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Possible survivor

According to the Marine-Verein Neuss, a watersports organization based in Neuss, it says their home boat, called the Pulchra Nussia, used to be the R 146, completed in 1944 at the Abeking & Rasmussen shipyard in Bremen-Lemwerder. (more can be found here: http://www.marinevereinneuss.de/heimboot/) Maybe that could be put in a section in here, just like in the E boat article with the S 130? --e (talk) 17:36, 25 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
