This article is in good shape. I have a few comments:

I think the consensus is that uboat.net is ok for GA, but not higher levels of assessment, so you'll need to replace it if this is going to Milhist A-Class review or FAC.
in the lead where it says "meeting more success", suggest adding in front of that how many patrols in total she did in the Far East
for "sold for scrap" link ship breaking
suggest turning lk=in with the first displacement conversion to link long tons, and lk=on for the first power conversion to link kW
can anything be said about the model, range and warhead of the torpedoes used?
- I actually don't know for sure. I believe they were the Mark VIII, but I can do more research if you feel that is important.
do we have a rank for Desmond Martin? Navy List might be a source.
- I've done some searching, but I can't find him.
say where the light AA gun was mounted, use anti-aircraft gun in full
I'm not sure whether it should be ASDIC or asdic, but just be consistent
link u-boat
arctic→Arctic (there are a couple of examples)
anti-submarines patrol and link anti-submarine warfare
change Stadlandlet to Stadlandet and link Stad (peninsula)
far east→Far East and link
say that Trincomalee is in (was in) Ceylon/Sri Lanka
she rescued four airmen in the Bay of Bengal, but the lead says they were American. Everything in the lead must be covered in the body.
link coaster, barge and tugboat at first mention in the body
suggest Summary of raiding history→Career summary as she wasn't always raiding, sometimes she was doing ASW work
in the narrative, suggest stating how the ships were sunk on each occasion (gunfire or torpedoes), as you do this in the table but not in the narrative
with the exception of uboat.net (which is acceptable), the sources are of high quality and reliable
File:British S-class submarine schematic drawing.jpg needs information about where the scan came from, ie where it was published
- I don't know, I suppose it was published before 1969, but I can't prove it.
  - Given you uploaded it, where did it come from? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:38, 16 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
    - Just checking you've seen this, L293D. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:55, 21 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
      - Due to the way google give priority to images hosted on commons and shows images only once on the search page, I can't find the site I got it from any more. I agree that it can't be kept on this article right now, feel free to FFD it on commons if you think it should be deleted. L293D (☎ • ✎) 19:12, 24 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Earwig only shows a few minor phrasing similarities with the uboat.net page, nothing to be concerned about

That's me done, placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:39, 9 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

G'day L293D, this has been on hold for a month, so I'm going to fail this one unless there is some action shortly. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:14, 12 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay, I'll be doing Sceptre soon. L293D (☎ • ✎) 16:50, 14 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

No prob. I've deleted the schematic. This article is well-written, verifiable using reliable sources, covers the subject well, is neutral and stable, contains no plagiarism, and is illustrated by an acceptably licensed image with an appropriate caption.
