I think this page should be formatted in the RN template. I am too new to take this on yet, but if someone else did, I could have a go at filling in some more details. Fenton Robb 13:01, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Operation ZZ

At High Seas Fleet the count of German ships is reported as 11 battleships, 5 battlecruisers, 8 cruisers and 48t destroyers, however the numbers in Beatty's orders of 20th are 9 battleships, 5 battle cruiser, 7 light cruisers and 50 destroyers (Memorandum H.F. 0050/9, issued on 20 November 1918, by Admiral Sir David Beatty)] Hearsay evidence - two German destroyers failed to leave port.

This article is in pretty good shape.

The displacement in the text and infobox doesn't match.
probably worth specifying that the secondary guns were in single mounts
After introducing BS as an abbreviation, suggest referring to 1st BS.
suggest linking mobilisation
- Excellent idea!
link Home Fleet at first mention
- Linked in the lede
link dreadnought at 16 dreadnoughts
- Isn't this covered in the link for dreadnought battleships in the lede? Or is this just different enough?
the sentence beginning During this foray appears to be out of sequence
- Moved earlier in the para, but I kinda think that it breaks the flow up a bit, what do you think?
  - I think it flows ok.
Agincourt should probably be linked
- Good catch.
she was sold
images are all appropriately licensed and captioned.

That's me done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:16, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate you looking this over. Let me know what you think of my changes.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:29, 8 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- No prob. This article is well-written, verifiable using reliable sources, covers the subject well, is neutral and stable, and is illustrated by appropriately license images with appropriate captions. Passing. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:50, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

HE shell use at Jutland ?

"One of her high-explosive (HE) shells penetrated through the upper superstructure and caused minor splinter damage. The second HE shell burst on hitting the upper hull armour,.." ? She would have been firing armour-piercing, not HE at naval targets ? Rcbutcher (talk) 06:21, 9 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
