Discrepancy between prose and infobox

@Peacemaker67: Hi PM, I just passed by the article, and I think found some error. The commisioning date is not the same in infobox, as it is in the prose. Prose says that the ship was commissioned in August 1939, but infobox says 30 March 1938. Pleas check this. --Regards, Krishna Chaitanya Velaga (talk • mail) 15:24, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks Krishna. Fixed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 22:21, 10 November 2017 (UTC)

Mutiny...

The article currently says:

On 16 April, the ship's crew were informed of the imminent surrender of the Yugoslav armed forces, and were ordered not to resist the enemy any further.[12] The following day, with Italian forces closing on the Bay of Kotor, two junior officers, Milan Spasić and Sergej Mašera, removed the captain and crew from the ship and set scuttling charges to prevent her capture.

So, ordered to not resist two junior officers "removed the captain", and blew the ship up?

That sounds like mutiny. If any RS call it mutiny we should not shrink from neutrally covering that interpretation, with proper attribution, of course. Geo Swan (talk) 22:09, 11 November 2019 (UTC)

I'm not aware of any RS that refer to it as a mutiny. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 07:28, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Question about date format

Might just be because I’m an American and we tend to do things backwards but would it be “April 6th” or “6th of April” not “6 April” etc? Again I ask as if this is grammatically correct. Just a small thing. OyMosby (talk) 23:43, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

See MOS:DATEFORMAT. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 23:48, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Gotcha. Thanks!OyMosby (talk) 00:59, 31 October 2020 (UTC)

The image

Is there any reason why instead of the image of this exact ship (available on commons here), the image of its sister ship is used? Cheers, OakMapping (talk) 12:06, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Because the licensing isn't valid, based on the date of publication (2017). We need a clearly PD image, and that isn't. Freivogel has heaps of pics of Zagreb in his books, but we can't use any of them either. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 12:28, 17 April 2021 (UTC)
