The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that German destroyer Z13 Erich Koellner visibly tilted when hit by the 15-inch (380 mm) semi-armor piercing shells fired by the battleship HMS Warspite during the Second Battle of Narvik on 13 April 1940?

[edit]

Hi, this looks pretty good. I have a couple of observations/suggestions as part of my B class review:

  • in the infobox it says "Ordered: 9 January 1935", but in the prose it says "ordered on 10 November 1934";
  • in the Design and description section, you might consider adding a sentence on the size of the complement, given that it is mentioned in the infobox;
  • the final paragraph doesn't seem to state whether or not the ship sunk, but the infobox states that the ship did;
  • "Groener" in the Notes "Gröner" in the References;
  • "Lieutenant Commander (Fregattenkapitän) Schulze-Hinrichs had decided" (this doesn't seem to indicate who Schulza-Hinrichs is or was - I assume he was the ship's captain? If so, it should probably be stated with a small clause, e.g. "Lieutenant Commander (Fregattenkapitän) Schulze-Hinrichs, the ship's captain, had decided").
