This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
The following is from "Unrestricted Warfare: How a New Breed of Officers Led the Submarine Force to Victory in World War II," by James F. DeRose.
" At the start of her wartime service, Flasher had a reputation as a 'boat built by women.' This notorious, and irrelevant, claim was true. She had been built at Electric Boat's 'Victory Yard' by an all-female construction crew, and it was widely booted about in Groton that Flasher was a boat headed for certain disaster. Instead, she racked up an outstanding record, the hottest boat based in Australia."
There is no citation for this by DeRose, but if true, surely the gender of her construction crew is worthy of mention in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.16.106.76 (talk) 16:44, 31 January 2010 (UTC)Reply
