Expand or Delete, September 2021[edit]

This page should be expanded or deleted. I'm seeing some minor detail and references but its unclear that these satisfy WP:BASIC. Mztourist (talk) 07:21, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Withers was instrumental in the failures of the early war period for submariners in the pacific with his refusal to act on the Mark 14 torpedo problems (which he was part of the development on). This stub ought to be expanded. A good source that discuss Withers' stance at start of WW2: Blair, Clay, Jr. (1975). "Silent Victory". Philadelphia: Lippincott. ISBN 0-553-01050-6. 97.113.84.223 (talk) 01:48, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Add it to the page then and perhaps he will meet WP:BASIC. Mztourist (talk) 08:44, 31 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
