Who is Laborde, mentioned without introduction in "Political aspect"?
It needs restructuring, yes, as both he and Marquis are 'officially' introduced in the paragraph below. 86.160.63.63 ( talk) 03:24, 21 September 2009 (UTC) Alister

"The cruiser Jean de Vienne, in drydock, was boarded by German troops, who disarmed the demolition charges, but the open sea valves flooded the ship. She sank, blocking the drydock." - how can a ship inside a dry dock (ie without water around) be sunk? 80.151.9.187 ( talk)
La Galissonniere,Lion and Jean de Vienne were all in a drydock and you can see in La Galissonniere page the ship is sunk alongside Dunkerque as they shared drydock, Dunkerque page also have a image showing their location. Simply put how do ships get inside a drydock? a drydock is not always dry.
I am here trying to straighten out the narrative on Military history of France in World War II, where I had thought that some of these sunken ships might have been conflated. I am still getting that straight in my own mind but have made some minor wording changes to sentences whose English was not really wrong but slightly strange to a native speaker. I do not feel that any of these were substantive enough to introduce an error of fact but if so I would appreciate being notified, since bad translations of French military history of the period continue to appear in my life, so if I am mistaken about something I would like to stop perpetuating that mistake. I feel that some of the IP addresses on the talk page sound quite knowledgeable on this topic, but that this narrative does not quite meet en wikipedia’s strict referencing standards. Somewhat shocking assertions, such as an admiral acting in good faith while being undercut by his own government, should be referenced. References and attribution should also be given for formulations such as “some have written...but others believe...” and definitely for any quoted text, as obviously accurate as it may seem to the writer. That said, I find the article informative and interesting in that it appears to represent modern a German narrative.
I do have a couple of style quibbles:
Thank you for your attention to these matters Elinruby ( talk) 05:39, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
The article is potentially midleading on the nature of those ships They weren’t warship for sure and most of them were certainly motor launch .
I recommand to replace ship by boat 2A01:CB00:BF8:9800:7C87:F96B:2919:5490 ( talk) 05:59, 31 August 2022 (UTC)
I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Scuttling of the French fleet at Toulon's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "ubootefr":
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT ⚡ 16:07, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
