Kaiman-class torpedo boat

Featured article candidates/Kaiman-class torpedo boat/archive1

Another article on a class of torpedo boat used by the Austro-Hungarians in WWI. This was a very successful type, and saw extensive service in the Adriatic during the war, engaging in shore bombardments, anti-submarine work and many other tasks. Most were scrapped after the war, but four saw service with the Royal Yugoslav Navy into the late 1920s. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:31, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Where were the 1st and 2nd Flotillas based? I think Greger should have this info - I'd assume Cattaro

I've extrapolated from where Greger says their depot ships were based, Cattaro and Pola.

Done

I'm not so sure that the PD-USGov-Military-Navy template is right, since it's unlikely these were taken by USN personnel. The NHHC claims the copyright on the photos, but that's not the same as what the template states. Parsecboy (talk) 19:39, 30 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've changed it to PD-because. Does that work? Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:20, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

That should be good, I'd think. Parsecboy (talk) 12:07, 31 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- All tool checks ok (no dabs, no duplicate links, external links ok, Earwig tool reveals no issues with close paraphrase / copy vio [1]) - no action req'd.
- Images all appear to be PD and have the appropriate information. Captions look ok (no action req'd).
- "The lead boat of the Kaiman class was built by Yarrow Shipbuilders..." This poses a few questions which you might consider covering. For instance what were the circumstances surrounding the lead vessel being built by Yarrow (i.e a British shipbuilder)? Where was it built (Glasgow?) Was the class designed in the UK specifically for the Austro-Hungarians, or was it an existing design that was subsequently exported / licensed etc?
- Looks in good shape to me overall. Anotherclown (talk) 11:36, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks Anotherclown! It was a prototype built at Poplar in London, then plans were provided along with engineering assistance. I've added some detail that was there in the sources, but for some reason I hadn't included it... Definitely an improvement IMO, so thanks for raising it. Hopefully that addresses your queries?

    - Yes that addition looks good to me. Adding my support now. Anotherclown (talk) 04:49, 16 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
