I'll get to this shortly--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 08:39, 9 August 2023 (UTC)

• I'm not at all sure that File:Alpino A5384.jpg is properly licensed. Contact the uploader to see if he took the photograph.
  • I have contacted them. However, as they have not been active since 2018, I am not certain I will get a reply quickly. What would you suggest I do not get a response please?
• In the infobox, link standard, full load, Menon (weapon) and all the various types of radars
  • Added. Also linked VDS.
• In the infobox readers don't need the manufacturers for the turbines and diesels, nor the 76mm guns. And abbreviate anti-aircraft gun with a link
  • Done.
• Add a |1 to the conversion template for the torpedo tubes to get a more accurate conversion
  • Amended.
• Not sure that we need to know the models of helicopters in the lede, nor the exact mileage
  • Amended the mileage. The model of helicopter seems very important in the sources.
• Hyphenate variable depth and provide the abbreviation in the lede
  • Amended.
• Link hangar, Menon, pendant number, laid down, lead ship, launched
  • Added.
• "the" Centauro class
  • Added.
• Design used too frequently in the first paragraph of the design section; in the last sentence replace designed with intended and rephrase appopriately
  • Amended.
• I'd suggest shortening the second infobox by noting only the changes made
  • Removed dimensions and complement.
• Pretty sparse coverage of the ship's activities, can you at least add references to NATO exercises that she participated in?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:28, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
  • That would be useful. Do you have the information please?

@Sturmvogel 66: Thank you for the review. I would be very interested in reliable information on the ship's involvement in other NATO exercises. simongraham (talk) 00:55, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

I'm afraid not. I'd suggest deep searches of Google Books, Google Scholar and journals like Navy International, etc., and whatever you might find through the WikiLibrary. That's the main reason why I've not worked on hardly any post-WWII ships.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:04, 20 August 2023 (UTC)

@Sturmvogel 66: I have added what I can, although it is more to do with the ship's launch and commissioning than career. Please tell me if there is anything more you feel it needs. simongraham (talk) 19:30, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

This is good enough, but I'd suggest further research in JSTOR through the WikiLibrary if you want to send it to ACR.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:20, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
