Albona-class minelayer edit

Nominator(s): Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:36, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a class of Italian and Yugoslav mine warfare vessels of WWII that, like many Yugoslav ships, served under additional flags. In this case, the Italian Social Republic and Nazi Germany. Originally laid down for the Austro-Hungarian Navy, they were incomplete in November 1918, and Italy had three completed in 1920. Yugoslavia had another five completed in 1931, and all eight saw service in WWII. The Yugoslav ships were captured first by the Italians, then by the Germans, who both used them on operations against the Yugoslav Partisans. The original three Italian ships did not survive the war, but three of the Yugoslav ones did, and two of them were involved in the 1946 Corfu Channel incident in which two British destroyers were seriously damaged by mines the Yugoslav Navy had laid on Albania's behalf, killing 44 British sailors and injuring another 42. This article passed Milhist ACR back in 2019, but has recently been expanded considerably with new books. Have at it. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:36, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support from Harrias edit

  • "..ordered some classes of small mine warfare vessels, some of which.." Not keen on the quick repetition of "some" – could one be replaced by "several" or similar?
Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 20:56, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Should "Jadranska Brodogradilišta" have a lang template?
Yes, done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 20:56, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Lack of attention to detail. Fixed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 20:56, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The Malinska class section starts "The Malinska class ships had a relatively quiet career until 1941..", but there is no such caveat for the earlier Albona Albona class section, which makes it odd that it starts in 1941, after we've seen in the table above that they were completed in 1920.
Good point. I had neglected to check this, and have added a bit. Hopefully I've addressed this now? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 20:56, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "When the establishment of the fascist Axis puppet state, the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) was declared on 10 April, Pleiweiss decided.." This doesn't read quite right, and I think needs another comma after "(NDH)".
Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 20:56, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Arbe was under repair at Genoa when she was captured by the Germans at the time of the Italian surrender in September 1943, was not commissioned by them,[17] and was transferred to the navy of the German fascist puppet state the Italian Social Republic in December 1943." Despite not being too long, this sentence does a lot, and I think would be better split up.
Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 21:17, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "She was scuttled during the German retreat from the city on 24 April 1945, and she was salvaged.." I'm not keen on the repetition of "she was" here. Maybe replace the second, "and she was" with "and was later".
cut second "she". Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 21:17, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "..on 16 February 1944;[22]all reverted.." Missing a space.
Added. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 21:17, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "..the German landing ship SF 193 which.." Too many spaces!
Doh! Deleted. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 21:17, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "After the war, all three were.." I know the sentence goes on to give designations, but this is ambiguous at the point you read it. Which three? Recommend rephrasing.
Yep, it gets confusing. See if this is better. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 21:17, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "..and could carry to 24 SAG-2 mines." Missing a word, "up", I assume.
Yep, added. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 21:17, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Overall a nice article, although I did lose track a little bit of which ship was which, they were re-designated so often! Harrias (he/him) • talk 14:43, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look, Harrias! See what you think of my changes in response? Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 21:17, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • Suggest adding alt text
Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:36, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest removing the "black and white" part. Alt texts should only describe the essential info of a photo, and the color here isn't so important. GeraldWL 08:00, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:48, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:36, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
All done, thanks Nikkimaria. Just check I've got the sizing right. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:36, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK, let’s try that again. Thanks again, Nikkimaria. Regards, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:01, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Looks good, thanks. Nikkimaria (talk) 00:11, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If I may cut in: The infobox image caption says the depicted ship is Marjan, but there's large "MN" visible on its hull. Accordding to the table in the article, "MN" was Malinska - or is that only a coincidence? If the two are switched, I'm not sure is the caption correct or the table - both MA and MN could stand for Marjan and Malinska. --Tomobe03 (talk) 21:01, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well picked up. It is Malinska. Fixed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 21:57, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

GWL edit

I never touched any milhist FACs and failed by military history exams back when I was in the institution, so correct me if I misinterpret anything. I've put invisible comments to divide my comments based on sections. GeraldWL 08:59, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved comments from GeraldWL 09:06, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
* "Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes/Yugoslavia"-- I think it'd be fine to use either of them and omit the other name. In this case if you wish to use the full name, there's no need to use the shorter name. Though I suppose using the common name is always better.
The only issue is that one is not the common name, they are both the official name, one until 1929, and the other from 1929. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:51, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I've linked them both, it is a bit redundant because the first one redirects to the second one, but it doesn't look as odd. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:01, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • At the ships table, you can merge the 29 December 1917, September 1918, unknown, —, and 1931 cells.
  • "Never completed" should be centered
Table formatting done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:51, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course, thanks. Linked. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:28, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "of the German fascist puppet state the Italian Social Republic"-- I think there should be a comma after state
Added. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:28, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Throughout the article there is inconsistency between numbers: some are in words, others in digits. WP:SPELL09 recommends either making them all the same, or only reserving words for numbers zero to nine.
But MOS:NUMNOTES says "Comparable values nearby one another should be all spelled out or all in figures, even if one of the numbers would normally be written differently: patients' ages were five, seven, and thirty-two or ages were 5, 7, and 32, but not ages were five, seven, and 32." Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:28, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Malinska class or Marjan class" --> "Malinska or Marjan class"
Sure, done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:28, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Since it has its own article for it, not sure "(German: Kaiserliche und königliche Kriegsmarine; k.u.k. Kriegsmarine)" is particularly important here. In contrast, "(Serbo-Croatian: Kraljevska mornarica; KM)" is important since its abbreviation is what you use for any mentions of KM after that.
Ggood point, trimmed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:10, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rather than piping "Porto Re", it's better to just link Kraljevica
Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:10, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:10, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "the Ganz & Danubius shipyard became Jadranska Brodogradilišta"-- does the source confirm it's now called the Kraljevica Shipyard? It isn't mentioned in the article itself.
Yes one and the same, it has had many names since 1797 or so, under Austro-Hungarian, Yugoslav, Italian and Croatian rule. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:10, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Immediately aft of the bridge was the funnel"-- what does immediately aft mean?
Behind. Linked earlier at first mention. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:30, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "The crew consisted of 29 officers and enlisted men." Was it really all men?
In that day and age, yes. The Royal Australian Navy didn't permit women to serve on warships until the 1980s. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:30, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The first two tonnes were only followed by long tons, but the third has short tonnes. Also "145 tonnes" --> 145 t"
Fixed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 02:30, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]


  • "Ammiraglio di Divisione"-- add paranthesis with the translation divisional admiral, and link the transl. Not all readers speak Italian, and you can't really expect them to have to open the link to understand its translation. Although now the more that I think of it, I'm not even sure putting the native title here serves any purpose.
I'm always conscious that this is en WP, but in many cases I'm working on Yugoslav, German or Italian topics, and translating a foreign rank doesn't work, and/or the equivalent isn't at all intuitive. My go-to example is that a WWII German generalleutnant was actually equivalent to a US/British major general and the German rank of generalmajor was equivalent to a US brigadier general and UK brigadier. Don't get me started on Waffen-SS ranks... Tends to be more confusing rather than less in some cases. So I tend to either translate/or equivalent rank in a note, or do it this way. I'm happy to move the link in this case, as there is a direct equivalent which is a direct translation, but I do tend to try to be consistent within articles, and the Yugoslav ranks aren't as equivalent or easy to translate, and I see some of those are coming up. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:04, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I can definitely see the difficulty in this, as I've faced similar problems in other topic articles. The links addition looks great in my opinion, and judging the other similar articles it should be fine now. GeraldWL 08:33, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "laid 21 defensive minefields in the northern Adriatic, consisting of 769 mines." 21, then suddenly becomes 769?
A minefield is a barrage or pattern of mines in one location, consisting of a few or many mines. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:04, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How did I not notice mine and minefields! Thanks for clarifying.
  • "lieutenant commander junior grade", or "junior lieutenant commander"?
another difficulty in translating/equivalence. I've piped it and created a redirect to the Yugoslav ranks page. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:02, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "who was an ethnic Slovene." I'm not sure the ethnic Slovene part is important, since the other people mentioned do not have their ethnic background stated.
Yes, because in this situation, a Croat would have been unlikely to act against Croat rebels Unless he was a communist, but in any case a Slovene would have had no desire to join an independent Croatian fascist state. Do I need to state this explicitly? Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:02, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It'd be better to add a footnote or something, yeah. I'm sure I'm not the only nonMilhist reader who wondered why is his ethnicity noteworthy. GeraldWL 08:33, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "and thanks to her shallow draught"-- pretty sure thanks (WP:OP-ED) can be changed to due.
Sure, done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:34, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "They also mounted a Breda M37 8 mm"-- no need to include 8 mm in the link and piping it
True, rm. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:34, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "250t-class torpedo boats"-- don't exclude the torpedo boats part off the link
torpedo boat is linked in the first section of the article. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:34, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • "the German fascist puppet state the Italian Social Republic"-- same with lead cmt
Done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:40, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Should in situ be italicized?
    • Just jumping in on this one: not, it shouldn't: per MOS:FOREIGNITALIC: "Loanwords or phrases that have been assimilated into and have common use in English, such as praetor, Gestapo, samurai, esprit de corps, e.g., i.e., etc., do not require italicization. Likewise, musical tempo markings, and terms like minuet and trio, are in normal upright font. Rule of thumb: do not italicize words that appear in multiple major English dictionaries." Harrias (he/him) • talk 20:49, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Harrias is correct. Not needed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:40, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem Peacemaker, and apart from the comments this is a wonderful read, especially since I have not read a milhist article in full for a long time (except for some of the short ones). I'll support this nom after the fn is added. GeraldWL 08:33, 11 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Source review - pass edit

Spot-checks not done.

  • Ensure uniformity in the placement of dashes within ISBNs. For example, in "978-1-4738-2756-1" and "978-1-59114-544-8," the position of the dashes is inconsistent.
The thirteen-digit number is divided into four parts of variable length, each part separated by a hyphen. they are not supposed to have the same number between each hyphen. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:21, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, removed from the long citation. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:26, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Support from Tomobe03 edit

  • Freivogel source title seems odd, specifically "Freivogel, Zvonimir (2021). Warships of the Royal Yugoslav Navy 1945–1991. Zagreb, Croatia: Despot Infinitus. ISBN 978-953-366-006-6." - makes no sense as there was no Royal Yugoslav Navy in the period indicated. Croatian title here [2] would translate as Warships of the Yugoslav Navy 1945–1991. I have not located English version yet though. Could you please check if that's a copy-waste from the first volume (1918-1945)? --Tomobe03 (talk) 22:23, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, sloppy copy and paste. Fixed, and thanks. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:52, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is just to note that the above comment regarding the infobox image caption is satisfactorily resolved.
  • It is noted that the Arbe class vessels were renamed after islands of Rab, Ugljan, Šolta, Mljet and Pašman (in Italian). The article would probably benefit from a note that the Albona class ships were named after Istrian towns (in Italian of course), the lead ship (and class) after Labin, and the remaining two vessels after Lovran and Rovinj.--Tomobe03 (talk) 00:12, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Of course you are right, but I’d have to rely on WP:BLUE for that, as Freivogel doesn’t explicitly say it. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 00:19, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I'm fine with WP:BLUE (if consenus is there and rules permit) or omitting this if no reference is available. Could not locate one either.--Tomobe03 (talk) 00:50, 15 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Found a table in the back of Freivogel that provides all the translated place names. Added. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 10:36, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  • "The wreck of Pasman remained on Ist, was stricken on 13 January,[12] and was only scrapped in situ in 1954." This reads oddly as I'd assume that the wreck would remain in place absent any salvage effort.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:35, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't want to assume knowledge. Can you suggest an alternative way of explaining its fate?Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:08, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The key point for me is that the Germans planned to rescue the crew, nothing about salvaging the ship. I'd just say that the Germans struck the ship in January and that the wreck was later scrapped. It's important to make the distinction between the ship and the wreck as you can't strike a wreck from the navy list.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 10:34, 18 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sturm ? Gog the Mild (talk) 19:22, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the delay.

  • All this is excessive detail and reword the remainder appropriately : "Aft of the gun on the rear section of the forecastle were arranged the captain's cabin on the starboard side and the pantry on the port side. Between the two was the galley, directly below the enclosed steering bridge, which was topped with an open navigation bridge on which a searchlight was mounted. The foremast with a crow's nest was attached to the forward edge of the navigation bridge."

and: "Below deck, the bow contained the drinking water tanks, aft of which were cabins for the petty officers on either side of the anchor chain locker. Immediately aft of the petty officer's cabins were the sailor's bunks, underneath of which the boiler water and fuel tanks were located. A transverse bulkhead between the sailor's accommodation spaces provided support for the gun. The engine room containing the boiler and engines was located under the galley and was covered by a low superstructure with ventilation cowls. The engine room was separated from the hold by a bulkhead that supported the deckhouse on the KM ships. A workshop was located in the stern."

Not sure I agree, to me the internal layout of the ship seems germane and of interest to the general reader. Happy to go with the consensus from the other reviewers: @Harrias, Gerald Waldo Luis, and Tomobe03:. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 23:07, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I can see Sturm's point, but I'm pretty ambivalent either way. In a relatively short article, I'm comfortable with the detail being provided. Harrias (he/him) • talk 09:53, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
How many other ship articles discuss the internal layout? Few to none, AFAIK. And most authors don't cover the internal layout like you've done, generally contenting themselves with a cutaway diagram or deckplan. Freivogel certainly didn't in his book on A-H torpedo boats which covers ships roughly this size.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 10:29, 4 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Harrisas. Well Sturm, surely that is a matter of choice for those who write the articles, and perhaps as result of the lack of information about the internal layout in the sources consulted? Freivogel may not have provided this level of detail in his book about A-H TBs, but he does provide this level of detail on these ships (and others, for that matter) in his book on the ships of the KM, which is of course where I got it. I don't have a cutaway diagram or deckplan (and Freivogel doesn't provide one), so a description is what I've added. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:33, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We'll have to agree to disagree. But I don't think that this is encyclopedic and won't be supporting or opposing.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 11:49, 5 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
OK. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 23:45, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • Add a link for funnel and rework that bit into the general description or the engine section
I disagree. The way the section is organised is the external appearance then the internal layout, dimensions and power, armament then completion info. While the funnel is obviously tied to the power, the funnel location is part of the external appearance, which contrasts between the Italian and Yugoslav ships not only in terms of the height of the funnel, but also the deckhouse and mainmast. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 23:07, 3 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi PM, a few nonmilhist comments...

Description and construction

  • aft of the petty officer's cabins were - these (this and next two) are all plurals so move apostrophes ie officers'?
  • the sailor's bunks, - ditto
  • sailor's accommodation spaces - ditto
  • were the sailor's bunks, underneath of which the boiler water and fuel tanks were located. - "underneath of which"? maybe just me but that sounds strange. Maybe '... were the sailor's bunks, and underneath these the boiler water and fuel tanks were located.'
These are done. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:52, 7 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The crew consisted of 29 officers and enlisted men. - move this to end of para ie after all the tech stuff (or is that the normal order?) Also just checking, crew number was same for layers and sweepers?
Yes, moved. Yes, no mention if different crew numbers except for Pasman in Germans hands, where there were 30. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:37, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
  • The hulls of MT.138–MT-143 were - should that be a dot before 143?
yes, whoops. Fixed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 08:37, 10 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
