Warrior-class cruiser[edit]

This class of armoured cruisers was built in the first decade of the 20th Century and served at home until 1913 when one ship was transferred to the Mediterranean Fleet. That ship, HMS Warrior, participated in the pursuit of the German battlecruiser Goeben and the light cruiser Breslau at the beginning of the war while her three sisters remained at home with the Grand Fleet. Only one ship survived to be scrapped: Warrior was sunk at the Battle of Jutland, Natal was destroyed in a magazine explosion and Cochrane ran aground and broke in half a few days after the end of the war.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:15, 21 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment Natal has a dead link. Headbomb {talk / contribs / physics / books} 01:56, 25 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - everything looks good, and meets the criteria for a good topic. A couple of small comments: The HMS Achilles (1905) article could really stand to have the lead expanded just a bit, and the lead article has a mix of British and American spelling (both armor and armour are present, for example).

    • Good catch on the spelling. I've added the number of dead to the lede and a bit about the wreck's current status. Not much to work with as she had a pretty uneventful career.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 20:57, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delegate Comment - Really would be nice to have a consensus before the end of the year. No rush really. GamerPro64 03:10, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
