[edit] POV

This article has no citations for its very unkind comments about what were in their day very powerful ships. It is not in the least bit neutral.--Toddy1 19:25, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad somebody has respect for these ships! Unfortunately, shipbuilding and naval practice saw rapid advances in the early 1900s leading up to the Great War, and these ships were quite outdated by the time they were sunk - all three in nine minutes as they didn't have destroyer escort at the time. Sad but true. I've removed the tag for now; please review the sources I left right after the article mentions the Live Bait Squadron. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Edwin Herdman (talk • contribs) 11:18, 4 May 2007 (UTC).
