Please...

[edit]

...the article still misses a lot at the moment, like

  • what did Zebra look like, how was she built? The article says a) that she was a Liberty ship, which is pretty clear; but then b) in the first sentence there is a red reference to "Indus-class". Is that a clarification or a contradiction?
  • what is this "net gear" story all about (are we talking about steel nets as a protection against floating mines? If so, I would really expect a link to a page explaining this stuff!! If not available, give some detail here - like: what was the average weight or size of a single unit of... well, "net"?)
  • how was Zebra seen as especially fit to handle "net gear"? What was her cargo hold configuration, what kind of loading gear did she have?

to finish this on a positive note, her operational history is certainly explained very well. Good start! --Himbeerkuchen (talk) 07:32, 7 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
