I've assessed as Start at this point due to lack of coverage regarding most aspects of the subject's life. The majority of the article is the action against Hood, with nothing of his early life or post-war career. Other than that it meets the B-Class criteria IMO but the coverage issue is quite significant of course. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 21:27, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What did he do between wars other than command Hitler's state yacht? How long did he command Hitler's state yacht? What did he do during World War II before May, 1941? What did he do between June, 1941, and the end of the war? What did he do after the war? Can someone provide this information would committing the mortal sin of "original research" please? 22:21, 15 January 2025 (UTC) 2603:800C:3A00:59B5:C8E6:4037:7470:F1D1 (talk) 22:21, 15 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
