A very nice article. I made a few minor edits which you're free to revert.[1]

I've only a few comments:

  • "She displaced up to 14,489 metric tons (14,260 long tons; 15,971 short tons) at full load. She had a crew of between 739 and 769 officers and enlisted men. She was powered by three vertical triple expansion engines with twenty-two Belleville boilers. " three sentences in a row start with "She".
  • "Démocratie 22.7 percent hits," - is there a word left out here?

Otherwise all is fine. will put on hold while you look over my comments.
