No DABs
Images appropriately licensed, diagram sourced
Picture box caption: Why not just say that Bayern is Sachsen's sister or half-sister, if you want to be more precise?
- Done
In the lede shouldn't but never finished be set off by commas as it's a dependent clause?
- Yeah
~~discarded~~ the steam engine "exchanged" perhaps?
- Good idea
Link secondary armament, Schichau, battery
- Done
Use broadside rather than beam for the torpedo tubes, easier to explain (link) that term than to explain that this isn't the same as width.
- Done
Link construction number to yard number and add to the infobox
- Done
As a result, work stopped on Sachsen altogether, Doesn't follow from the preceding sentence. A missing word somewhere, I suspect.
- Actually, the "not" in the preceding sentence shouldn't have been there.
diesel engine was converted into four of the Type U 151 submarines A neat trick, but I wonder how a six-cylinder engine could be split between four subs?
- That's a good question
  - Isn't it, though? "Converted" reads oddly to me, perhaps "divided amongst" or "incorporated into", or some such?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:06, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

eight main guns, ~~though~~ the remaining pair "and"?
- Done
Which deck is the battery deck?
- Clarified in the text
, after which dismantling began; work lasted until 1923 awkward--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:55, 18 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- Reworded. Thanks Sturm. Parsecboy (talk) 15:23, 21 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  - @Sturmvogel 66: - anything left to do here? I’d like to get the ball rolling on getting this and Württemberg added to the FT, which requires a new nomination, apparently. Parsecboy (talk) 12:51, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
