Add a couple sentences about the laying down, launching, and commissioning after opening sentence.
That's not summarizing and would be redundant to the infobox and main body.
Any random FA (e.g. SMS Emden) will have a few sentences about that. IMHO, its helpful for readers to get an idea of the time period the boat was built in in the first sentences.
That is a necessity, I agree, but I think that that's too much detail in the lede and redundant to the main body, but Parsecboy disagrees. As an alternative I offer my FA, Japanese battleship Asahi, which tells the reader which decade the ship was built in, but only in a summary fashion by not providing exact dates.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:47, 19 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Link Crimean Offensive somewhere - that's what the boat did for most of its war service.
Linked in the lede in the sentence that starts "In early 1944..."
The phrase "the Romanians" comes up in two consecutive sentences in para 2 - change one to "Romanian Navy" or something similar.
Good idea.
On the nights of 22/23 and 24/25 June, Regele Ferdinand, Regina Maria and the flotilla leader Mărășești covered the laying of defensive minefields off Odessa. - remove "flotilla leader", already defined in preceding para.
That's the sister of Marasti, so not defined.
Adolf Hitler suspended the evacuation - might want to specify the city being evacuated.
Not just the city until later. Initially it was throughout the Crimea.
when she was discarded - to my knowledge, discarded is not a nautical term. Stricken might do better.
Perhaps, but discarded is what the official Romanian website translation used
