Talk:Soviet submarine S-13

Wrong dates in the article

How can the keel be laid down 6 months after the ship was launched? It is obvious that either the lay down date or the launch date is wrong, perhaps both. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PhennPhawcks (talk • contribs) .

You are right. This is what happens with unreferenced articles, I can't even easily look it up :-( --BACbKA 22:58, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I googled for Soviet submarine S-13 launched and had no trouble finding a source for the dates (once I got past the Wikipedia mirrors). I corrected the tyop and removed the banners. HTH HAND ➥the Epopt 01:02, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Someone got the picture wrong, how can a passenger ship be a submarine? Maybe someone should fix that.

Coast

Under the command of Marinesko, then 32, on 30 January 1945, at Stolpe Bank off the Polish coast, S-13 sank the 25,484-ton German liner Wilhelm Gustloff....

"Polish coast" changed to "Pomeranian Coast." Pomerania was then part of Germany, not Poland; it became Polish after 1945, under border changes decreed at the Potsdam Conference. Sca (talk) 21:55, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

Marinesko

Marinesko hoped to be awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union[citation needed]. He left the navy in early 1946, embittered. He was posthumously awarded the title in 1990.

Doesnt tally with the article on Alexander Marinesko, which asserts he was downgraded in rank in october 1945 then transferred to the reserve and retired in November 1945. Man Over-bored (talk) 14:03, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
