This article has been checked against the following criteria for B-class status:
The sentence in the "Discovery" section seems like it could be reworded. The sentence is rather long with only one break. The "discovery of the location" would also be the discovery of the wreck".
Suggestion: "The discovery of the wreck was announced on 22 July 2019, by the same company (
Ocean Infinity) and ship (Seabed Constructor) that in 2018 discovered the Argentine submarine
ARA San Juan, which sank in the
South Atlantic in November 2017. Also, the lead section (a summary) does not need to be sourced with the same source found in the body.

Completion
The infobox has an unreferenced completion date of 31 May 1961, the same day as for her launching, which seems unlikely. Completion date is not mentioned in the article.
Fr:WP is unhelpful: it has an unreferenced launch date of 19 June 1962 and no completion date -
one ref used there for other things confirms launch 31/5/1961, but again nothing on completion.

Concur, the completion date first appears
in this diff, without a source. It may be an typographical error, or a confusion of "launch" as a synonym for "completion" - which of course is not the case. I've removed it for now, though of course pending the appearence of sources for a "completion" date.

I've removed the piped link to
Artificial reef on "maritime sanctuary" under
WP:BRD as, though added in good faith, I think it is misleading. The French term "sanctuaire maritime" is further explained as " une sépulture sous-marine", suggesting a marine grave and protected space along the lines of the
USS Arizona Memorial or sites of the
Protection of Wrecks Act 1973, rather than a deliberate sanctuary for marine life as an artificial reef is. I'm open to discussion however if people disagree.

2020 Dives to Minerve wreck
I have added info on the 2020 dives on the Minerve wreck by Victor Vescovo and provided representative references -- mostly periodicals in French.
I have two photos to dress up the section but do not know how to handle photos.
Both are available on Wiki Commons: i.e.
HELP Help Help required to insert photos in Memorial section.
