Rename

Shouldn't this article be named something like Maxim Gorky (cruiser)? Best regards, —surueña 11:17, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Not according to WP:NC-SHIPS -MBK₀₀₄ 05:12, 4 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

radars

Not used to seeing radars as plural for radar. Seems odd. Multiple radar system, or just British radar was installed? --Kevin Murray (talk) 06:46, 23 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

In the text it says - Her light anti-aircraft guns consisted of six semi-automatic 45-millimetre (1.8 in) 21-K guns. However the inf box has it as 9 × 1 - 45-millimetre (1.8 in) 21-K AA gun
Fixed
The inf box says she was awarded the Order of the Red Banner 22 March 1944 but there is nothing in the text to explain why
She'd been out of combat for almost a year, so I don't think it was for anything specific. All I have is the date, no citation.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:08, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Chesneau, Roger and Whitley, M. J are listed in the references but not used
Removed.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:02, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Passed GA there may be a problem at A class or higher with the Red Banner award.--Jim Sweeney (talk) 12:17, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
