SM U-21 (Germany)

Painting of the sinking of HMS Pathfinder

Improved to Good Article status by Parsecboy (talk). Nominated by Oceanh (talk) at 12:27, 15 August 2014 (UTC).

Symbol voting keep.svg Article was promoted to Good Article status yesterday. Offline sources accepted in good faith for paraphrasing and copyright issues. I'm slightly concerned about the use of a self-published source (O'Connell) although it isn't cited often in the text and the hook fact is cited to different sources (Williamson and Lowell). Hook fact is noteworthy and interesting; another possibility would be the U-21 sinking two battleships in three days. No QPQ required in this case.
