GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

---

The article is basically a Good Article. However, I feel that there are a few minor details to "fix".

1. Is it reasonably well written?

   A. Prose quality:

• HMS Zealous was given a straight stem – Does this mean the bow of the ship? If so, what does it mean for the "bow" to be straight?
• ...converted to an armoured frigate for the price of £239,258. – Is this in 1862 pounds?
• Her bottom had not been cleaned since she had left Great Britain... – When was the cleaning?
  • Linked. Stems of wooden warships and the earliest ironclads were generally curved outward.
  • Yes, see the note for the converted cost.
  • It was cleaned before she commissioned.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:50, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
