This article is in fine shape. A few comments from me:

  • the rounding of the length in the infobox and body doesn't match
    • Forgot the "in" part
  • the draft is converted into decimal feet in the body, should be ftin
    • I could've sworn I fixed all of these when I started writing this series - apparently not.
  • the engine didn't drive the boilers, it was the other way around. Reword?
    • Good catch, that hadn't occurred to me ;)
  • where were the guns positioned? all broadside?
    • Yes
  • Prussian Ministryer of War
    • Good catch
  • link ship commissioning
    • Done
  • suggest "deployment in the interest of improving the crew's rations, rather than relying entirely on hardtack."
    • That works for me
  • suggest "necessity offor their presence"?
    • Done
  • perhaps mention Saint Thomas was a Danish possession at the time
    • Good idea
  • perhaps translate Unterleutnant zur See as you've done with the other rank
    • Done
  • perhaps note that Halifax is in Nova Scotia (or Canada)
    • Good catch.

That's it. Placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 03:28, 17 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
