A few comments:

the surfaced displacement doesn't match between the body and infobox
third-group or third-batch? Suggest choosing one.
typo - first was patrol
say that HMS Talisman was also a sub
typo - after there days
~~between~~ in the Strait of Sicily
Partinico and Edward Preston Young are duplinked, Preston should just be Preston at second mention
suggest ~~later~~then eastern Tunisia
uinto a suitable
suggest redlinking Corallo
suggest "south of the island of Capri"?
Provinçale II and Marseillaise V
It is a bit of a shock to discover that she wasn't called Saracen until 15 Feb 43. Consider calling her P247 until this point?
- I don't think so. The 247 pennant was just a temporary number while a name was chosen, and anyway its the same sub. But I've added a sentence to explain this in the first para. L293D (☎ • ✎) 03:12, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
two German landing crafts
typo - Saracensighted
"ending her patrol" needs a full stop
1,085
was not damaged. tThe submarine
suggest "south of the island of Pianosa"
"overhead". tThe boat"
typo - "submarines in he area"
when landing men is mentioned, it doesn't say they were British agents, but the lead does?
the table would benefit from a total tonnage sunk at the bottom
with regard to sources, uboat.net is used extensively, and these entries are apparently based on primary sources. This is a less-than-ideal source, and I don't think it would pass muster at A-Class or FA.
- I know, and I'm not planning on an ACR or FAC. L293D (☎ • ✎) 03:12, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
all images are appropriately licensed. A location map wouldn't go astray.
Earwig indicates some similar phrasing to the uboat.net entry, suggest varying the language to reduce this.
- Made some changes. Most of the "copyvio" comes from the log book quote about the ship blowing up. I personally like it, as it adds some color and action. L293D (☎ • ✎) 03:12, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

That's me done. Placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 01:06, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

All done, except for the displacement, done by Sturm. Sorry for having so many typos, I will be more careful. L293D (☎ • ✎) 03:02, 2 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
