Given the size of the "Design and description" section relative to the rest of the article, might want to add another sentence or two about the ship design into the lead, for balance.
"As was common with ships of her generation, she was built with a plough-shaped ram." -- So...was she supposed to be able to ram other ships? Might want to include that if so, since it's a pretty interesting detail.
- Pretty much every ship cruiser size and over built during this period had a bow ram. I intend to expand on that in the class article where it belongs.
"They encountered a storm on 27 March off Cape Matapan and the ship began taking on water. " -- Taking on water through the battle damage or by some other means? Please clarify.
- Done; how does it read now?
" she was torpedoed by the submarine UB-47 " -- Any idea where she was hit?
- Added.
"another pair died as they attempted to abandon ship." -- Did they drown?
- Added. Thanks for the review.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:47, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No dab links, ref section and infobox look good, so that's about it. Good work. Holding for minor fixes. —Ed!^(talk) 14:06, 28 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
