I'll get to this shortly.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:32, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for the lengthy delay.

• No DABs, external link OK
• Image appropriately licensed.
• No duplicate links.
• Link the Bofors 40mm gun directly.
  • Done.
• I'm a bit dubious that the Beograd design was derived from the Simouns except in the broadest possible terms as the French design dated back to the 20s, was a 100 tons larger, 5 knots slower and had 3 times the bunkerage. Probably best to ignore that bit entirely as it doesn't pass the smell test, IMO.
  • I'll accept your opinion on this, although it is pretty clear in the source. I've amended it to say it was developed from a French design.
• in single gun shield mounts Suggest "in single mounts fore and aft of the superstructure, protected by gun shields" or something similar.
  • Done.
• Link shelter deck or nearest equivalent.
  • Not sure what that would be?
• two triple-mount 550 mm (22 in) torpedo tubes Howabout two triple mounts for 550 mm...?
• Your account of her actions under Italian control are pretty sparse. Did she participate in any battle with Allied surface ships, sink a sub or have any ships in her convoys sunk?
  • I haven't located anything that specific. I'm pretty sure I checked Whitley and there was no detail. There are a few sources available online, but I wouldn't rely on them.
    • See if you can access a copy of Jurgen Rohwer's Chronology of the War at Sea; there's one or two relevant entries there.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 13:20, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
      • They have a copy at the state library, I'm be going there Monday, I'll take a look. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:47, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
• single mount 20 mm (0.79 in) Hyphenate single mount. Do you know the model of guns used by the Germans when they rearmed her? If so, link them.
  • Done, and no. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:13, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

Where are we on this?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 01:11, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

Just need another day or so, RW got in the way of a visit to the library... Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:43, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

OK Sturm, there wasn't much, but I've added what there was. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 11:35, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
