Reviewer: Buggie111 (talk · contribs · count) 23:57, 25 September 2011 (UTC) Here I am again. A first glance shows only a few things wrong:

• "after working up". Define, please.
  • Linked.
• Red links, could probably be removed until they are created.
• If Operation MA3 exists, please link.
  • It's really one of the sub-convoys to Malta and doesn't really merit an article of their own.
• "Short Sunderland L5804 of the RAF." Launched from where? Anything on why there would be a discrepancy between the two times?
  • I don't know where it was based at, although I know that there were RAF sea plane bases in Malta and Alexandria. As for the time discrepancy, I don't know either. Perhaps the sub was merely damaged by the first attack and was sunk by the Sunderland after repairs. Or maybe neither attack actually sank it. The cause is a bit of a mystery.
• "splinters from a near-miss from the Italian battleship Giulio Cesare" Why would she be hit by splinters of a near miss? Was the shell throwing off chunks in it's flight, or did it hit another ship in the area, causing collateral damage to Decoy?
  • No, the shell detonated when it hit the water.
• Germans invaded on 22 May (Operation Merkur)-> Germans invaded Crete on 22 May or Germans invaded on 22 May in/as part of Operation Merkur
  • Fixed.
• 2 October: add 1944
  • Done. Glad to see that you're working on the large GA backlog that we've got.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:02, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
