First comment[edit]

Check out U-352, they need to fix their infobox too. That is where I got the infobox for U-701. Thanks. Rutke421 (talk) 15:55, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right, they do. I've removed this section

As divers, with privileged access to underwater wreck sites that are part of a cultural heritage, we have a responsibility to preserve them for future generations. The U-701 is a war grave and part of the world’s underwater cultural heritage. This is why Project AWARE Foundation and PADI are committed to a “Respect Our Wrecks�? campaign an ethic that promotes diver access and responsible interactions. As a non-consumptive user group of the U-701, we can lead the charge for wreck conservation by adhering to and promoting wreck diving considerations.

By following these guidelines, divers also minimize their risk of being denied access to underwater cultural heritage sites in the future. Any diver interested in accessing the U-701 should know that international law and US law governs the unauthorized disturbance or removal of items from the vessel. On January 19, 2001, a Presidential Statement was issued on the United States’ Policy for the Protection of Sunken State Craft. The policy states that all government vessels, of both U.S. and foreign governments, remain the property of those governments, regardless of location or length of time since the vessel was lost at sea. In addition, no one is allowed to disturb or remove objects from these vessels without the permission of the government vessel’s owner. In 2003, the German government stated that no one is to disturb sunken German State Craft without the permission of the German government.

because it's rather un-encyclopaedic and at a tangent to what the actual article is about. Benea (talk) 16:06, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Move[edit]

Page moved, as per guidelines at Wikipedia:Naming conventions (ships) (1.3) “Ships with hull number only�? (link) and discussion on talk page there. Xyl 54 (talk) 13:12, 10 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re-write?[edit]

If there are no objections I’m going to try re-writing this.
The dating system is non-standard, it’s written in an un-encyclopaedic style, and contains peacock terms. It could do with a bit of an overhaul. Xyl 54 (talk) 17:54, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As it turns out, the whole "Patrol" section was cut&pasted from another website (an article by Paul Hudy, which is listed as a reference), so I've deleted it to avoid plagiarism. I've put in a summary for now, and a link to the uboatnet page. Xyl 54 (talk) 12:51, 11 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
