SMS Kaiser Franz Joseph I
[edit]- ... that the Austro-Hungarian cruiser Kaiser Franz Joseph I sank during a gale in October 1919? Source: "[Kaiser Franz Joseph I] capsized in heavy Bora gale on 17 October [1919] as a result of top-heavy condition produced by a combination of the light condition but with a heavy load of ammunition and open hatches." (Sieche 1995, p. 35)
- ALT1:... that in January 1916, the Austro-Hungarian cruiser SMS Kaiser Franz Joseph I participated in the invasion of Montenegro by shelling Allied batteries on Mount Lovćen?

Hi White Shadows, review follows: 5x expansion confirmed from 8 September to current condition; article is well written and cited inline throughout to reliable sources; All sources are offline or subscription based so I could not carry out a check but the copyvio detector throws up no issues; hooks are interesting and are mentioned int he article, my preference is for the original as it seems relatively rare to lose a warship of this era to a gale; AGF on offline sources for the hook facts; QPQ has been done. A great looking article, good to go - Dumelow (talk) 09:00, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
