This article has passed a GA review and I think it's ready for A-Class. — Bellhalla (talk) 19:00, 5 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comments- (this version)- "The U-boat could carry up to 27 metric tons (30 short tons) of diesel fuel, giving her a range of 6,940 nautical miles at 5 knots[3] (12,850 km at 9.3 km/h). Her electric motors and batteries provided a range of 45 nautical miles at 4 knots[3] (83 km at 7.4 km/h) while submerged."
- "On 9 April, was von Mellenthin was succeeded by Oblt. Horst Obermüller,[1] a 26-year-old first time U-boat commander.[44]"

- Support This is a great article which easily meets the criteria. My comments for any further development are:
- The 'Design and construction' section is a bit choppy - the number of facts and citations makes it hard to read.
- The distinction between the flotilla being based at Pola and operating from Cattaro is a bit unclear as currently written. It might be better to say that "Although the flotilla's headquarters and support facilities were located at Pola ... boats of the flotilla operated out of the Austro-Hungarian base at Cattaro as it was farther south and closer to the Mediterranean."
- The article is a bit wordy, and the prose could be streamlined. This isn't a big deal though. Nick-D (talk) 10:05, 11 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
