"was laid down at the Howaldtserhe" it should be "Howaldts-Werke" name of the shipyard

At the Battle of Jutland, HMS Nestor and Nicator were sunk not disabled. HRS claim that Rostock picked up survivors.
Campbell indicates the battleships, not Rostock, sank the destroyers, and that four torpedo boats (he gives the hull numbers) picked up the survivors.
torpedo hit her at 1:30; HRS claims that Rostock had fired 500 x 10.5 cm shells in the engagement, more than any other German ship

In 1918 a second SMS Rostock was laid down as Ersatz Mainz, which was never completed.
The ship (a Cöln class cruiser) was laid down in 1915 and launched in 1918 - added to the article. Parsecboy (talk) 11:26, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
