 * The design section needs to be restructured. The description of the propulsion system is split between two paragraphs, mixed with other information - it should be in a single paragraph, with the rest of the info in another.
 * Watch ENGVAR - I see "tonnes" but also "draft".
 * De-link the second horsepower conversion template
 * Torpedo diameter conversion should be in inches only
 * I can't read it, but this looks like a personal website - what makes it a reliable source? Parsecboy (talk) 20:16, 8 February 2016 (UTC)


 * I would like to adress that last point before I continue with the other remarks. Although it may not look much, www.podmornicar.com is the official webiste of the "Udruženje Podmorničar" (Submariners Association) from Serbia. The association, along with its sister chapters in Montenegro, Croatia and Slovenia, gathers crew members, commanders, admirals and engineers who constructed and operated submarines of the former Yugoslav Navy, thus providing first hand information. To further illustrate their expertise in the topic, I should mention that in Montenegro they were involved in restoring the original interior of Heroj (P-821), while the Serbian and Slovenian chapters were responsible for lobbying for the acquisition, restoration and subsequent display of two Una-boats which were donated by the Montenegrin government. The Association was also responsible for compiliing and publishing the "Podmorničarstvo Jugoslavije" (Submarine service in Yugoslavia; reviewed here in Slovenian here), by far the most detailed account of the development and 50 year long operational history of Yugoslav submarines and one of only a few books that deal with that subject matter. With that in mind, I believe the source to be more than reliable and has proven to be even more accurate than publications such as Jane's and Conway's fighting ships in certain aspects--Saxum (talk) 19:17, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * For self-published sources, we need to see that the authors have previously been published by reliable publishers - have any of the contributors published books/articles/etc. elsewhere? Parsecboy (talk) 21:13, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * The site does not state which member exactly wrote the text, but people involved in the association(s) include: Stracimir Gošović (Ronjenje u sigurnosti : podvodna medicina i osnove tehnike ronjenja, Neke nove sugestije za liječenje teških oblika), Andrej Korbar (Priručnik za komercijalna i mornarička dubinska ronjenja, Osmotreno periskopom, Utjecaj regeneratora, štetnih prostora i otpora strujanja na Stirlingov proces), Petar Sunajko (Četrdeset pet godina podmorničarstva Jugoslovenske ratne mornarice published in Mornarički Glasnik, the official magazine of the then Yugoslav Navy), Martin Matošević (Protivpodmornička borba), among others.--Saxum (talk) 21:55, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I think I've adsressed the first four issues. Let me know if there is anything more to be done.--Saxum (talk) 15:26, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
