This isn't really my field but from what I've managed to look up the Southampton-class didn't come out until the 1930's. Should this read "six modern Town class cruisers instead? -- Cjrother 16:24, 27 June 2006 (UTC) hey hey hey hey hey hey
The infobox makes no mention of German destroyers, although some are listed under casualties. The article clearly says there were destroyers on the German side, but I can't work out how many. Yorkist ( talk) 16:04, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

I have no quibble with the B rating, although I think the text could use some serious "tweaking" for logic, etc., which I suppose will happen on the way to "A" and "FA"....? For example, when in the section on the Mainz: At 12.20 her captain ordered his ship to be scuttled and the crew to abandon ship. Probably this sort of thing as reversed, crew abandons, then order to scuttle. We should also agree on the date of the British declaration of war...is it the 4th or the 5th? See a time line here.
I uploaded File:Sinking of Mainz.jpg from this source, which says it's SMS Mainz that's sinking. But as someone said on the image's talk page, the ship had three funnels, but the image only appears to have one. Is it possible the caption from the source is incorrect?
