  • construction began on 21 September 1911
    • Added
  • christened by Oberbürgermeister (mayor) Karl Siegrist (has a German Wiki page)
    • Added
  • coal consumption by far exceeded design spec, this led to many engineering changes prior to commissioning
    • This should probably go in the class article - Sturm is reviewing that article for GAN. Does it give any specific figures or changes made?
  • according to HRS 17 ships of 76,609 GRT were sunk
    • 16 ships is the only figure I've seen, across Halpern, Massie, and Bennett. Do they give any specific information?
  • her first commander was Fregattenkapitän Fritz Lüdecke
    • Added.
  • Köhler's widow later christened the light cruiser Karlsruhe of the Reichsmarine (page 89)
    • Added. Was she involved in the second Imperial Karlsruhe in any way?
  • Bristol was hit twice in the engagement
