One of six Type 23 torpedo boats, laid down in 1925 and launched in 1927. The ship participated in the Spanish civil War and briefly in World War II. It fired the first shot of Operation Weserübung but then ran aground while trying to avoid Norwegian coastal artillery. I created this article in May and got it to GA later in the year. Just recently, it also passed a MILHIST A-class review. Thanks in advance to all those who comment here. L293D ( ☎ • ✎) 22:49, 18 January 2019 (UTC)

I had a good look at this during the recent Milhist ACR, so not much to pick up on really:

The sources are all of high quality and reliable, exactly what you would expect on a German navy vessel of this vintage. No formatting errors I could see. Spot checks AGF'd as Sturm has a long history at FAC. Lenton's German Warships of the Second World War pp. 84–85 provides some additional detail regarding the class, in particular that despite their enlargement from the earlier types, they were still quite wet due to absence of sheer (and freeboard). It also mentions that they had a double bottom outside of the machinery spaces and longitudinal framing, those details are perhaps best for the class article. Also, the aft superfiring gun was on an open mount and the other two had gunshields. Cheers, Peacemaker67 ( click to talk to me) 08:36, 21 January 2019 (UTC)
Coordinator comment - After being open for well over a month, there just isn't enough here to achieve consensus for promotion and there's been very little activity since late January. -- Laser brain (talk) 00:35, 26 February 2019 (UTC)
