I'll be reviewing this one - although I expect there won't be a great deal of points as your warship articles are always top notch. Miyagawa (talk) 23:00, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

• Lead: I'd suggest that you might want to add the bit about the slowest sailing ironclad - it'd make a nice addition to the line about fastest steaming.

• Design and description: Might be worthwhile linking long tons.
  • Is it worthwhile linking Prince Consort to something to clarify who or what it refers to? Was it a reference to a particular vessel or a particular Prince consort?
    • I realise now it was probably the Prince Consort-class ironclad. But could you clarify?
  • "was rolling her gun ports under" - only being familiar with more modern military ships (apart from works of fiction), is this a reference to the ship rolling so bad that it took on water through the gun ports? If its anything else then you might want to specify (I think it probably is, but I wanted to double check).

So just those points I think before this one can be graded as a GA. Miyagawa (talk) 23:11, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Good ideas. Thanks for reviewing it.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:10, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Great, I've just seen the amendments and I'm happy to grade this article as a GA. Miyagawa (talk) 19:22, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
