GA review (see here for criteria) (see here for this contributor's history of GA reviews)

1. It is reasonably well written:

   Pass External links, dup links and dab links look good. Copyvio detector returns green.

2. It is factually accurate and verifiable:

   Pass Offline references accepted in good faith. Cursory check of Google Books shows references that back up source material here.

3. It is broad in its coverage:

   • Suggested in the design that the ship's role be included, would think that it would be best in the design article but that at least the lead ship could have some special explanation as it's the one setting the precedent.

• All ship's roles are usually covered by the link to the ship type.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:26, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

1. • Was it ever made clear why this ship specifically was able to reach the highest speeds of its sisters? Would be interesting but perhaps might also be the kind of detail best reserved for the ship class article.

• Sadly not covered in our sources.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:26, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

1. • "To lay additional mines in the latter, " -- confused by this phrase, it reads as though you were listing two locations in the previous sentence but only Irbe Strait is mentioned.

• Good catch.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:26, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

1. • Are there any statistics on amount of ordinance expended in Leningrad?

• Lemme check another source.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:26, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

• Another thing in which we've been let down by our sources.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:38, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

1. • When she was assigned to the 4th Fleet, any word on where she was assigned, and if possible what the general missions and tasks this fleet was undertaking at the time?

• Post-war information on these ships is annoyingly skimpy.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:26, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

1. • Any idea where she was based while a training ship?

• See above.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 16:26, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

1. It follows the neutral point of view policy:

   Pass No problems there.

2. It is stable:

   Pass No problems there.

3. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate:

   Pass Image tagged PD as appropriate.

4. Other:

   Overall I have left a few comments for improvements on the article. But I note that none is large enough to hold it or indicates that it is deficient of the GA criteria. This along with the relatively short size of the article and lack of availability of records that is common with this area of history leads me to think there's no reason to hold it up based on them along. So, going to Pass the GAN. —Ed!^(talk) 16:18, 20 January 2019 (UTC)
