I'll take this one. Parsecboy (talk) 20:58, 20 August 2018 (UTC)
Mostly nitpicks:
- "...required, meant..." a "which" is needed there.
- I dunno, I think that the dependent clause before the comma obviates the need for "which"
- Cut out a lot of the text and you get "White's studies [led to conclusion 'X'], meant that a very large ship was necessary..." "Which" is necessary for the sentence to work correctly. Parsecboy (talk) 15:42, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

- I dunno, I think that the dependent clause before the comma obviates the need for "which"
- Is it "criticized" or "criticised?" I know BrEng tends to use an "s" instead of a "z", but some of these are irregular too, IIRC
- I'll change it to an "s", but I'm not sure either as my online dictionary doesn't specify which is which.
- "the largest crew in the RN" - best to specify that it was the largest at that time.
- Ditto for the coal bunkers
- "The ships generally used Harvey armour." - the obvious question is, what wasn't Harvey armor?
- Burt contradicted himself in the article, so I tried to weasel-word my way out of specifying which one were mild steel.
- How were the 6-inch guns added in 1902-3 fed? Just with a supply of ready ammunition? Or were men supposed to ferry shells from the other magazines?
- Not specified, but most likely the latter as I don't think that any of the six inch guns had their own ammo hoists.
- File:Powerful class cruiser diagram Brasseys 1897.jpg - needs a US tag
- The Jane's ref is not cited (and has a harv error).
- Deleted.
