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

the is a duplicate link of Prussian navy in the lead
- I thought I fixed that, but apparently not...
the engine didn't drive the boilers, but that's the way it reads
- Fixed - I had meant to go through these and fix that after your raised that point in the other review you did, but I got sidetracked - maybe 2nd reminder is the charm?
suggest swapping the link to keel to a link for keel laying, as it is more germane
- Added it to "laid down" instead, so both links are available
link ship commissioning
- Done
move link to Kiel up to first mention
- Done
what calibre etc were the rifled guns she got in 1867?
- Clarified
suggest "~~the~~a shipment"
- Good idea
suggest "Victoria carried a business representative for what was now the North German Confederation from Havana to La Guaira, Venezuela."
- I wasn't entirely happy with how that sentence came out - I like your solution better.
possibly work in a link to the Ten Years' War when talking about the unrest in Cuba?
- Ah, I didn't know there was an article for that.
suggest "crewmen who had been seriously injured in a severe storm had to be sent ashore to a military hospital."
- That works better
during her 1871 shipyard visit, did the built-up guns replace the rifled guns or the original smoothbore ones? It is getting a bit confusing...
- Clarified, and I added some of these details to the design section, so hopefully that should make it clearer.
Salvador or El Salvador?
- Good catch - sometimes I get the
link Liberia
- Done
image licensing looks fine

That's me done. Great work! Placing on hold for the above to be addressed. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 05:40, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
