SMS Körös (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

SMS Körös saw action at Belgrade and elsewhere in WWI as part of the Austro-Hungarian Danube Flotilla, and after transfer to the newly created Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia), she saw service as Morava during the Axis invasion in April 1941. Scuttled, she was raised and served the Navy of the Axis puppet state the Independent State of Croatia as Bosna until she hit a mine and sank in June 1944. My second ACR foray with river monitors of Yugoslavia following the recent promotion of Yugoslav monitor Vardar. Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 03:35, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comments. As always, feel free to revert my copyediting. - Dank (push to talk)

Comments Who said that river monitors are boring? This ship certainly had a busy career! I have the following comments:

  • Can anything be said about the ship in the periods 1892-1914 or 1920-1941?
  • "The following day, Körös assisted SMS Enns when she took a direct hit and began to take on water." - which ship was hit is a bit unclear (I'd suggest tweaking this to "The following day, Körös assisted SMS Enns when the latter took a direct hit and began to take on water" or similar)
  • Was the ship's armament changed over time? The anti-aircraft guns obviously wouldn't have been part of her original fit out.
  • "Morava was subsequently raised and repaired by the navy of an Axis puppet state, the Independent State of Croatia, in which she served as Bosna." - I take it that no date is available here?
  • "She struck a mine and sank in June 1944" - similarly, I imagine that a location isn't available? (I imagine that this was the result of the very successful mining campaign against the Danube conducted by Allied heavy bombers, in case that helps with further research) Nick-D (talk) 05:21, 29 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support My comments are now sufficiently addressed. I suspect that the gaps in the ship's history will be a barrier to this reaching FA status, unfortunately. Nick-D (talk) 11:30, 5 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support Comments - not much to nitpick here.

@Nikkimaria: would you mind doing an image review on this one, Nikki? Cheers, Peacemaker67 (crack... thump) 21:41, 8 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
