• Images appropriately licensed
• Earwig reports 12.3% copyvio unlikely
• Link North Atlantic, World War I, decommissioned, attack submarine, bow, stern, depth charge, deck casing
  • linked. deck casing is linked to deck ( ship), the decommissioning for ships has a redirect to commissioning so i linked that to commissioning directly.
• The Type VII came in several variants, apart from four types Type VIIA, Type VIIB, Type VIIC and Type VIIC/41, which were each time improvements of the previous version, there was also a mine laying version Type VIID and a torpedo supply U-boat Type VIIF. Awkward, rephrase
• Type VII U-boat building program missing “the” at the beginning of the sentence. Eliminate the excessive use of Type VII, the reader has already been told the subject of the sentence. The rest of the sentence is too long and should probably be split
• Vetehinen-class Drop the hyphen. It’s reserved for compound adjectives like Vetehinen-class submarine where the first word acts as an adjective to the second word which modifies the third word like an adjective.
• Conversely, hyphenate single hull submarine as it is a compound adjective and depth charge attacks
• Change electric engine to electric motor and add a link
• When transferring spare torpedoes from the external canisters to the inner torpedo room, the torpedo hatch had to opened and the U-boat was very vulnerable so this could therefore only be done in low-risk areas. awkward
• A TMA moored mine which could be laid in waters with a depth of maximum 270 m (890 ft), had a length of 3.64 m (11 ft 11 in) and each internal torpedo could be substituted by two SMA mines Split this and reword to say that two mines could be substituted for each torpedo.
• A more powerful gun was needed but as intermediate solution, only an improved 2 cm gun the C/38 was available. Awkward
• , but if not sufficient such mountings were available, rephrase
• The 2 cm gun proved to be too weak, a heavier gun was needed but the existing 3.7 cm SK C/30 was not adequate and a naval version of the 3.7 cm Flak 43 was only ready for standard installation by November 1943. too long
• There were some experiments with other anti-aircraft configurations, but these were not standardized as with the arrival of the snorkel the solution to avoid aircraft was to remain submerged. rephrase
• Down to Subclasses, more later.–Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:28, 11 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
