Good read overall. &mdash; Rob (  talk  ) 02:08, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I reworded the sentence that carried the personification too far, since it was the crew who put the ship into port rather than the ship herself.
 * Mk. II or III refer to the specific "Mark" or version of the weapon, but in neither case in the article was it necesary. For the "…Mk.III "automatic machine rifle"…" to Lewis Gun and eliminated the "Mk.II" from the depth charges.
 * I also delinked the 5-inch guns and reworded for better flow.
 * Which dates need non-breaking spaces? And, is this an MOS thing? I'd like to know for future GA and (I hope) FA candidacies. ✅
 * The edits of 25 to 27 February were based on some feedback from WP:MILHIST, and primarily consisted of:
 * A "History" subhead was removed and its subheads were promoted
 * Each paragraph was cited, rather than whole sections
 * Some more specific dates for the ship’s initial launch, and dates it sailed on its various routes were added
 * Two categories reflecting its early use as a German passenger liner were added.
