Did You Know
A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on August 18, 2009.
The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that when the Soviet cruiser Voroshilov was bombed in 1942, flooding caused by one bomb hit extinguished an artillery magazine fire started by another?
Current status: Good article

Assessment, etc.

[edit]

Here are few things to point out that may help you develop the article further. First, the lead is a little short. Is there any way to beef up the first paragraph or even add a second? You could also split the paragraph in the WWII section, and maybe go into a little more detail. For instance, how were the three destroyers sunk? I'm assuming by air attack, but that might not be correct, and general readers might not make that assumption.

For some more information about the torpedoes, Navweaps has some stuff, as well as a page on naval mines and depth charges. It also has some specs for the British radars. Here are pages for the 100mm gun, 45mm gun, and the 37mm gun. Don't know if any of that helps :)

Also, are you planning on submitting it to Did you know? It would be a great article to get on the main page. Parsecboy (talk) 20:42, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all the advice; I'll see if I can beef up the lead, but I'm not sure how much more I can really do since she spent so much time under repair. I'll add the links for the various weapons; I have a tendency to leave those sorts of details for the class article. Sometimes, anyways. ;-) Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:09, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
