I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:47, 31 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • No DABs, external links OK
  • I tweaked the infobox a little.
  • German S-2 torpedo boats add "motor" to the description or use E-boats instead. Plain torpedo boat is a much larger ship than these in most of Europe. Both in the lede and the main body
  • commissioned with in, not with. In the lede and the main body.
  • The two boats that had escaped to the Allies in 1941 returned to Yugoslavia after the war and were commissioned with the new Yugoslav Navy before being decommissioned by the early 1960s. Too long, split this into two.
  • never eventuated "happened" is simpler, I think
  • At the start of the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia comma after Yugoslavia
  • several Orjen-class boats comma after boats
  • Boat Division Ivan Kern commas after division and Kern
  • Link Boka Kotorska and the gun types.
  • German-built propulsion engines
  • Anything worthwhile on their postwar careers?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:31, 9 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
Regarding "linking the gun types", I presume you mean link them to the exact model used? I did so for the 20 mm (0.79 in)/65, but I'm not sure what to do about the others as these WW2 guns are not quite my expertise. I presume the 40 mm (1.6 in)/43 gun is 3.7 cm Flak 18/36/37/43, unless the Regia Marina used a domestic gun of that caliber I'm not aware of. I'm also not sure what to link 15 mm (0.59 in)/38 to, or do we even have an appropriate article on wiki for that matter.
I checked every source I have at hand, and the info about their post-war service is really scarce. Other then the fact that they were redesignated and stricken in 1963, none of the books make any mention of any details of their carrers in the JRM.--Saxum (talk) 12:27, 10 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
OK, I'm fairly certain that the 40 mm is the 40 mm Bofors gun and the 15 mm is the ZB vz.60, but since I can't prove it, I'll have to let it slide.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:49, 11 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
