I'll get to this in the morning. Parsecboy (talk) 00:56, 15 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Not much to nitpick:

  • Might be worth clarifying who Stalin was
  • "The ships were slightly overweight" - makes one wonder what the designed displacement was (or perhaps just what the difference between intended and actual displacement was)
    • 41 tons overweight, not enough to be worth specifying the exact amount, IMO. But the Project 7s were overweight to begin with and this just made it worse. There's a great photo in the article of a 7U at sea in calm water with not a lot of freeboard, but, annoyingly, the text of the article doesn't really discuss freeboard issues at all or even give a figure for metacentric height, just a decrease of 30% between the 7 and 7U.
  • "expending 111–130 mm" - this reads awkwardly - like they expended 111 to 130 shells - this is a case where I'd probably write out "one hundred and eleven"

Nice work as usual. Parsecboy (talk) 14:28, 15 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
