The image shown (S171) is misleading. It shows the Type-XXIII after a post-war refit, including a new conning tower structure. There are a lot of photographs of the Type-XXIII in its war-time design. One of those should be used instead. It is certainly not an "identical sister-ship" as the comment suggests.
The lead introduces, but does not summarise the rest of the article. I think the second part should be split off into a new section about construction, but more information is neede in the lead, explaining what the boat did, and what is written under service history. The lead ought not to contain unique information.
While I appreciate that the main information about the vessels is in the
German Type XXIII submarine article, I think there needs to be a short summary of the vessel's characteristics, just for context; maybe just 2-3 sentences that could be combined with information about construction (like in
USS Iowa, for instance). This sort of thing seems to have been done on some ship GAs (that are part of a class), but not on others.
Done, I hope that this is good enough for you. If not then I'll try to get more info if I can.--
