Talk:SMS Augsburg

Editing Comment
The article states that the ship ran into a minefield. Then it notes that the crew kept it afloat. Though it can be inferred that the ship struck a mine, the article never actually says so. This prompts questions such as, how did it manage to survive when mines often sank much larger warships? Djmaschek (talk) 03:36, 13 January 2012 (UTC)


 * German warships were as a rule internally subdivided better than British ships and thus better able to survive underwater damage - HMS Audacious (1912) was sunk by a single German mine, while SMS Goeben hit at least three British mines and survived. That said, Halpern doesn't go into any detail about the mine hit, and I haven't found anything else on it either. I have clarified that she hit a mine though - I had thought about that when I wrote it initially. Parsecboy (talk) 11:27, 13 January 2012 (UTC)

Photo missing
There's a good photo of this ship on German Wiki: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS_Augsburg_(1909)  Sca (talk) 16:01, 9 May 2012 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, there's no good source for the photo, just a link to a website that surely doesn't hold the copyright. Which means we can't use the image here. Parsecboy (talk) 18:38, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
