"He also damaged the battleship HMS Rodney and the two aircraft carriers HMS Illustrious and HMS Formidable. " Where do you find these information? I think it's not true Siałababamak (talk) 19:17, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Ships purportedly attacked
Moving here as unreliably cited to a self-published web site:

As commander of U-617, U-380 and U-967, Brandi claimed, and was credited with, sinking 20 ships of, 3 cruisers and 12 destroyers. Although ships sunk in the Mediterranean were doubled for award purposes, and extra credit was given for sinking warships, Brandi's actual sinkings were "startlingly less" according to Blair. The verifiable total was:
 * 8 ships sunk for a total of
 * 1 auxiliary warship sunk for a total of
 * 3 warships sunk for a total of 5000 LT

 * What exactly is your problem? The claims have been checked against actual sinkings and the results published. I don't see why the list should not be reliable. ÄDA - DÄP VA (talk) 08:32, 6 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Are these ships being cited to Blair then? From the way the cites are presented, it looked to me that they were being cited to uboat.net. K.e.coffman (talk) 02:12, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Uboat.net is using Blair as a source among others, mostly Busch/Röll (2001) and the like. I find the site the most accurate, ubiased, uptodate, accessible English-language source on German submarines, so maybe you want to raise the issue with the Reliable Sources noticeboard.
