"The ships were also equipped with four" -I think you can get away without saying "also" here, especially with a new paragraph and repeating "also" a little further down

  • " The sides and embrasures of the upper battery were six inches thick, " -convert?
    • In the preceding para.
  • What/where is the "China station"?
    • Linked in the lede
  • "The following year, the ship ran aground herself on a sandbar entering the Huangpu River, " -1879? Do we know when? I think it would be good to be more specific with a date
    • Narrowed down.
  • " Iron Duke struck a rock off the coast of Hokkaido en route to Vladivostok in 1880." -again a more precise date would be useful
    • Source found.
  • "On 16 April 1885, the ship became a member of Admiral Geoffrey Hornby's Particular Service Squadron until August, when she joined the Channel Squadron. Iron Duke was reduced to reserve in 1890 " -is there nothing remarkable to say about late 1880s?♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:02, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Short but sweet. Will promote once addressed Sturmvogel 66.♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:03, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
