  • This article is new enough and long enough, and I have added Sturmvogel 66 to the credits. The image is in the public domain but is of a different vessel. The article is neutral and I detected no policy issues. Approving ALT1, which I really like and which is cited inline and will be of general interest. I have changed the word "destroyers" to "torpedo boats" in the hook but perhaps "vessels" would be better. No QPQ needed here. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:03, 1 November 2018 (UTC)
