I'll do this one shortly. Courcelles (talk) 15:06, 9 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"In the December of that year" Nor sure we need that "the".
- Indeed
Should likely translate Vasilissa Olga in the prose, in addition to the infobox somewhere?
- Added
"Italian Italian submarine Uarsciek"
- Oops.
scuttle is a dab page...
- Fixed
HMS Faulknor and Eclipse. Eclipse should likely also display the HMS prefix.
- Fixed
Not clear from the service history section when the Greek surrender and placing Olga under British command was.
- Added to the lede.
Anything more to say on her sinking? Seems more than one-sentence could be written about it.
- I wish that my sources would let me do so.
Sourcing looks good, as expected.
Image is fine, I'd try to narrow down the PD status if you can so a better resolution version could be used, but it meets NFCC as stated.
- You and me both.

The Wreck today[edit]

The “pride of the Greek fleet” lies sunken at the depth of 31.9 metters at Lakki port on the island of Leros.

Despite the salvage operations that were carried out, a significant part of the glorious destroyer remains today on the seabed of Leros. The bow is the most easily identifiable part of the ship and the only one that survives intact. The carriages of the two heavy cannons bear witness to its glorious past. Warped scales, grates from the engine room, parts of the aft superstructure, and the manhole leading to the destroyer's bulkheads are just some places where one can see the tremendous shock pressures the ship suffered.

Looking more closely at the surrounding area, a diver can still find portholes from the ship's bridge, remnants of anti-submarine bombs, and explosive material from the shells. Much of the wreckage is now covered by a thick layer of mud, and in combination with the limited visibility due to weather conditions, made our dive particularly challenging.[1] NikolasMargaritis (talk) 21:40, 21 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
