 * christened by mayor of Rostock, Dr. Magnus Maßmann (has German Wiki page)
 * Added.
 * "was laid down at the Howaldtserhe" it should be "Howaldts-Werke" name of the shipyard
 * Thanks, it was a typo.
 * At the Battle of Jutland, HMS Nestor and Nicator were sunk not disabled. HRS claim that Rostock picked up survivors.
 * Campbell indicates the battleships, not Rostock, sank the destroyers, and that four torpedo boats (he gives the hull numbers) picked up the survivors.
 * torpedo hit her at 1:30; HRS claims that Rostock had fired 500 x 10.5 cm shells in the engagement, more than any other German ship
 * Added.
 * In 1918 a second SMS Rostock was laid down as Ersatz Mainz, which was never completed.
 * The ship (a Cöln class cruiser) was laid down in 1915 and launched in 1918 - added to the article. Parsecboy (talk) 11:26, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
