Comments

  • "amidships" is a duplicate link
  • no alt text for image (not required)
  • did she have a name when she was a merchant ship?
  • "where she served in the squadron"
  • " 240 mm (9.4 in) thick amidships"
  • what are "Marine type boilers" and should they be linked to an article?
  • "The lengthened hull, which improved her hydrodynamic shape, and the improved boilers increased her speed by a full knot..."
  • this might be an Americanism, but should "through the end of the war" be "through to the end of the war"?
  • the "Fate" field in the infobox is formatted weirdly.

Short but sharp, given the lack of wartime action, but a pleasure to review. Peacemaker67 (send... over) 08:19, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:S.M. Küstenpanzerschiff Odin im Salut - restoration.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on December 19, 2015. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2015-12-19. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 00:32, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

SMS Odin
SMS Odin was the lead ship of her class of coastal defense ships built for the German Imperial Navy. Named for the Norse god, Odin was built by the Kaiserliche Werft Danzig shipyard between 1893 and 1896, and was armed with a main battery of three 24-centimeter (9.4 in) guns. She served in the German fleet throughout the 1890s and was rebuilt in 1901–1903. She served in the VI Battle Squadron after the outbreak of World War I in August 1914, but saw no action. Odin was demobilized in 1915 and used as a tender thereafter. After the war, she was rebuilt as a merchant ship and served in this capacity until 1935, when she was broken up for scrap.Lithograph: Hugo Graf; restoration: Adam Cuerden
