Intro

The lead paragraph is rather confusing; I'd delete the first mention of Gneisenau as it is easy to think that the latter was the lead ship of the class. Just move the link to the next mention of Gneisenau.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:07, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I reworded it slightly, is it more clear now? Parsecboy (talk) 02:16, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's fine now.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 04:10, 17 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Were their survivors or not?

In the Outcome section of the Battle of the Falkland Islands, it states:

Out of the 765 officers and men from the Scharnhorst, only 7 survived.

Which clearly conflicts with this article and the DYK mention out front. Who's right?--Cantthinkofausername 07:23, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
