Reviewer: Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:03, 30 October 2009 (UTC) Preliminary comments. Looks pretty good, but a couple of questions: Where are the torpedo tubes? Broadside, bow, stern, do we even know? What caliber are the 1 pounder guns and where are they? Similarly, where are the 5.5-inch guns? Bow and stern as was typical of ironclads with these sorts of turret arrangements? Are the 5.5 guns casemated or are they on CP mounts with gunshields? Where was she modernized in 1904? Do we have a figure for range or endurance?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 23:03, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the technical stuff came from Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1860-1905, which is pretty thin on details. It doesn't give any more information on the armament or on the power plant. Ed may be able to dig up some more details in his sources. Parsecboy (talk) 02:41, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I figured as much, but I won't hold it against y'all if the info's simply not available.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 03:39, 31 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

From my sources, I do not know where the TT are, nor anything about the 1-pounders. The 5.7" are on the upper deck, two fore, two aft. Also have added a location for the modernization and added her endurance. —Ed (talk • contribs) 08:04, 1 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is this review closed, abandoned or forgotten? Just wondering. --Brad (talk) 11:53, 16 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
