Just a few nitpicks:

the beam doesn't match
anything useful to add about the length of time between launching and commissioning?
- That seems to a consistent problem for all the ships, not just the later one.
launch dates don't match
link the other torpedo boats?
link convoy

That's all I have, Placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:17, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for looking this over, PM.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:46, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No prob. This article is well-written, verifiable using reliable sources, covers the subject well, is neutral and stable, contains no plagiarism, and is illustrated by an acceptably licensed image with an appropriate caption.

Comments by Nigel Ish

On the last paragraph, the citation doesn't specify which Whitley is meant (i.e. the 1991 one or the 2000 one)Nigel Ish (talk) 08:44, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Good catch.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:46, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A couple of extra points:

1) German auxiliary cruiser Komet should be linked.

2) When the article says T19 left Denmark on 5 May 1945 for its final evacuation mission, German forces in North West Europe had already surrendered - was this a breach of the surrender terms or had T19 already left (as suggested by the 92 edition of Rohwer, certainly for other vessels taking part in this last mission)?Nigel Ish (talk) 21:54, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Neither Whitley 1991 nor Rohwer 2005 cover T19's activities in April and early May at all. Neither of them say exactly where the ship was when the surrender came into force, while the latter explicitly says that 3 freighters and an auxiliary cruiser that also evacuated refugees with the warships were outside territorial waters when it came into effect. So I rather think that the Germans pushed the limits of the surrender terms, with the Brits turning a semi-blind eye. But since nobody actually explicitly says anything about it...--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:15, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
