Claiming this one, comments to follow. Zawed ( talk) 02:21, 19 March 2023 (UTC)
Generally, this is in excellent order, so only a few nitpicks:
- Lead seems short relative to the overall length of the article
- Perhaps a style thing, but it seems that British ranks aren't linked but German ones are?
- Also a little inconsistency with how German ranks are presented, some in English and some German, e.g. Kapitän zur See Karl Topp commanded Tirpitz at this time.
- Manned torpedoes were used by the Italian Regia Marina...: suggest "Manned torpedoes were used by the Regia Marina (Italian Navy)" for consistency with presentation/translation of Kriegsmarine earlier in article
- Sergeant Don Craig (a member of the British Army)...: suggest soldier instead of member
- Done
- Dupelinks: Home Fleet, Tautra, patrol boat
- Sources look reliable (I am quite familiar with Bishop, Chesneau, Sweetman, and Chesneau) and predominantly published in the last 11 years
- Image tags are all OK
- Strictly a suggestion but perhaps add another image, maybe an additional one of a Chariot, to the Voyage to Trondheimsfjorden/Trondheimsfjorden sections
- I did a few little tweaks as I went through and spotted what I thought were errors, check you are OK with these.
That's it for me. Cheers, Zawed ( talk) 02:51, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

attempted British-Norwegian attack on the
German battleship Tirpitz was abandoned after two
Chariot manned torpedoes were lost due to bad weather? Source: citations 29, 47, 48 amongst many others.

Improved to Good Article status by Nick-D ( talk). Nominated by Onegreatjoke ( talk) at 22:39, 9 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Operation Title; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
I will review this artcle.– CaroleHenson ( talk) 21:58, 16 April 2023 (UTC)

Overall:
The copy vio check identified quotes and some multiple-word combinations, like prisoner of war. There were also some like "the crew would then attempt" or versions of this. No issues found. The only question is whether to use an image. –

- @
Nick-D and
Onegreatjoke:, This is a very well-written and interesting article. Loved it. The hook is good. I am just wondering, what do you think of having an image of the Tirpitz or a
Chariot manned torpedo for the DYK?–

- Probably not the best option for a group of DYK hooks given that there aren't any photos of the Chariots involved in this option (and the generic photos aren't great) or Tirpitz at the location this took place.
