Talk:SMS Schlesien

What happened between 1970 and now?

The final line of the article remarks that she was still visible as late as 1970, what happened between then and now that she is no longer visible today?Yoenit (talk) 09:23, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

She may still be there; I haven't been able to find anything about the ship post-1970 (Groner's book was originally published in 1966 and updated subsequently by the editors). Parsecboy (talk) 14:12, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

The German version of this article states, in the final sentence of the ship's history, that still in 1980 there were remnants to be seen, which were "broken off" in the following years. I'm not a native speaker and can't determine whether there's any implication that this breaking off was done by wind and weather, or by people, but the suggestion is that nothing remains to be seen.

Mixed up

I changed the Staff references according to what the source actually says. Who ever entered the data simply looked in the wrong column. ÄDA - DÄP VA (talk) 18:42, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing that. Parsecboy (talk) 18:45, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

the table of the armament in 1939 seems to miss the 15-cm guns

I feel that some weapons are called alternatively "40 mm" and "37 mm"

Indeed, the text reads: "Schlesien had six of her 15 cm guns removed to arm the new surface raider Pinguin.[42]", and the article on the Pinguin agrees ([42] is a source discussing the Pinguin, not the Schlesien) , but the armaments table doesn't show any 15 cm guns in either configuration. Most likely they were the 17cm removed in the update. Andyvphil (talk) 07:02, 24 February 2023 (UTC)
