Unreferenced claims in lead

Noticed that this had been nominated for GA and had a quick look over it: I can't do a full review at the moment as I'm going on holiday; but if it is still around when I'm free, I'll take a full look. The bits in the lead referring to the ship's service as a ferry for the Isle of Man is only listed there, not anywhere in the body of the article, against the priniples of MOS:LEAD. This information is additionally not referenced. I would suggest including this information in a new section between the existing Description and conversion and Service sections, and include references in that section.

Other sources states that C.T. Freeman on august 2. 1916 unsuccesfully attacked the L 17 instead of LZ 17, what is right and what's the source of this article? --Ribewiki (talk) 00:19, 15 May 2015 (UTC)Reply
