Although a broad audience might not have access to the cited works, content is verifiable in principle. Citations (or, in this case, notes) 5, 8, 9, and 11 need to be broken up into their constituent parts and placed next to the specific claims they support. The paragraphs that they currently support contain too much content to be referenced to a simple collection of sources; individual claims should have individual citations. The claims are still verifiable in theory, but this grouping of citations is unusual and makes verification unduly difficult. Separately from that, It would be really great to have some more accessible sources, but of course that's not required for this criterion. Re. OR: One sentence stands out: "photographic evidence shows the ship was fitted with...". Is this attributed to citation 6, together with the sentence that follows it?
Cite 6 covers everything up to the previous cite, as all do all of my cites.
I've woven the text from info contained in the multiple cites and see no reason to break them up as you suggest. The number of pages involved is hardly onerous, ranging only from 3 to 6 pages.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:07, 6 June 2023 (UTC)Reply
I have never seen citations used this way, and I don't understand your hesitation with breaking them up, since that's very much standard practice as far as I know. I don't think this issue is big enough to stop this from being a GA, because content is still theoretically verifiable. This is just very unusual. Alas, moving on.

Since photographic evidence is mentioned in the article, is this evidence available? It would be good to have a photograph of the specific boat, in addition to the existing Type plans.
