• ... that the German Vorpostenboot John Mahn was the only ship sunk during the Channel Dash? Source: Paterson, Lawrence. Hitler's Forgotten Flotillas: Kriegsmarine Security Forces, "The sole loss to the Germans was a small Vorpostenboot, the 292-ton V1302 "John Mahn".

• New and long enough, article is neutrally written and no copyvio detected. It seems like there should be citations for the "General characteristics" section in the infobox. One issue I see with the proposed hook is that it says "only ship sunk" while the article and the quoted part of the source suggest that it was the only German ship sunk. So I suggest modifying it as follows:
  • ALT1: ... that the Vorpostenboot John Mahn was the only German ship sunk during the Channel Dash?
• AGF on hook citation; it's interesting, and QPQ has already been done. Thanks for a great article! DanCherek (talk) 03:16, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
• Yup, that's a fair qualifier in ALT1 and I've added a ref in the infobox. Thank you for the speedy review! Fritzmann (message me) 11:52, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
  • Looks good to me and this is ready to go, thanks! DanCherek (talk) 11:56, 28 March 2022 (UTC)
