Hi! I'll be reviewing this article for GA status, and should have the full review up shortly. Dana boomer (talk) 00:52, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose): b (MoS):
    • There are quite a few redlinked ships in the Service career section. Is there a good chance that all of these are notable enough to have articles at some point?
    • Is it at all notable that most of the ships U-27 sunk were little? I mean, an 11-ton ship is basically a big fishing boat, right? Was the crew just being cruel, or was there a reason for sinking these little ships? It would be interesting to add this into the article if you have something that's referenced, if not, it's just my personal curiosity asking :)
      • Yes, you're right, those are small boats. Generally U-boats hailed and searched small boats like this, allowed the crew to board lifeboats and then either opened the sea valves or placed explosives to sink the ships. In general, small boats like this were of little military value, other than in a total warfare sense. Unfortunately I have no source that talks about the whys in this case. — Bellhalla (talk) 04:00, 29 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
