Prose
    • A few issues, all minor
    • "after allowing the navies of other countries to pioneer submarine developments, in 1904 ordered the Austrian Naval Technical Committee (MTK) to produce a submarine design."
      • "in 1904" is out of place.
        • Reworded to avoid awkward phrasing
    • "When the Navy rejected the January 1905 MTK design and other designs submitted as part of a public competition as impracticable"
      • One longgg part of a sentence...
        • Split and reworded
      • What is the "MTK design"?
Random
    • Do you really have to cite the same refs twice in the first para of "Service Career"?
      • The first one should have been for Conway's and has been changed.
    • Can we get a ref for the submerged speed (I'm assuming that it is Conway's...?)

I'm putting it on hold, but I'm not really worried that these won't get done. Yet another excellent article from you, Bellhalla! :) —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 16:04, 4 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
