# Talk:Siegfried-class coastal defense ship

Parsecboy, this article could use a paragraph similar to the one you used for the Bismarck, or at least placing this in the context of the arms race and the larger European issues.  Do we know who commanded this ship?  Is there additional material from the german page that would help you enhance this?  Nice work, too!  --Auntieruth55 (talk) 22:59, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Alright, I think I've got everything. I wrote this back in June 2009 - it's kinda funny to go back over old articles like this and fix all the things I wasn't doing right. Thanks for reviewing the article. Parsecboy (talk) 12:33, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Karau's book Wielding the Dagger states on page 45 that the Flanders Flotilla requested the transfer of two Sigfried class ships to reinforce its defenses and assist in coastal bombardment, but that this request was denyed because the Admiralty felt that Flanders was not secured enough yet to ensure the safety of the transfer.XavierGreen (talk) 17:17, 12 July 2011 (UTC)
