Claiming this one, comments to follow. Zawed (talk) 02:21, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Generally, this is in excellent order, so only a few nitpicks:

• Lead seems short relative to the overall length of the article
  • Expanded Nick-D (talk) 01:03, 26 March 2023 (UTC)
• Perhaps a style thing, but it seems that British ranks aren't linked but German ones are?
  • I've delinked grand admiral as the concept seems straightforward, but kept Kapitän zur See linked as this seems a less readily understandable concept. Nick-D (talk) 05:40, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
• Also a little inconsistency with how German ranks are presented, some in English and some German, e.g. Kapitän zur See Karl Topp commanded Tirpitz at this time.
  • I've stuck with the English language term for Großadmiral and the German term for Kapitän zur See as 'grand admiral' has a direct translation while Kapitän zur See does not. Nick-D (talk) 05:40, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
• Manned torpedoes were used by the Italian Regia Marina...: suggest "Manned torpedoes were used by the Regia Marina (Italian Navy)" for consistency with presentation/translation of Kriegsmarine earlier in article
  • Good point - done Nick-D (talk)
• Sergeant Don Craig (a member of the British Army)...: suggest soldier instead of member
  • Done
• Dupelinks: Home Fleet, Tautra, patrol boat
  • Fixed Nick-D (talk) 05:40, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
• Sources look reliable (I am quite familiar with Bishop, Chesneau, Sweetman, and Chesneau) and predominantly published in the last 11 years
• Image tags are all OK
• Strictly a suggestion but perhaps add another image, maybe an additional one of a Chariot, to the Voyage to Trondheimsfjorden/Trondheimsfjorden sections
  • I've added another image. There are surprisingly few useful and clearly PD images related to the topic of this article on Commons. Nick-D (talk) 05:40, 1 April 2023 (UTC)
• I did a few little tweaks as I went through and spotted what I thought were errors, check you are OK with these.

That's it for me. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 02:51, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

• @Zawed: I'm sorry about my slow response to your excellent review. I've been crazy-busy at work, and haven't had much time for Wikipedia editing. Nick-D (talk) 08:51, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
  • @Zawed: Sorry again for the delays, but I think that I've now responded to all your comments above. Thank you again. Nick-D (talk) 05:40, 1 April 2023 (UTC)

• Hi Nick, this looks all good, so passing as a GA now as I believe this meets the necessary criteria. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 09:36, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
