Best?

[edit]

Possibly the best Pre-dreadnought type of ships? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.3.172.87 (talkcontribs) 03:48, 25 May 2007

GA Review

[edit]
This review is transcluded from Talk:Radetzky class battleship/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

GA review: Prose, looks very good, per usual. MoS also fine, for GA purposes. Images are good. Context yest, scope, yes. Focus, yes. Citations and sources are fine. No edit wars. Always a good thing.

I'd like to see at least a sentence on the name "Radesky" and the names of the ships. Give them an historical context. I made a couple of very very very small tweaks, one word usage, and the other punctuation. Let me know when you've added the sentences, this is a pass, of course.

Added namesakes for the ships


The use of large-caliber secondary batteries wasn't unusual for late predreadnoughts, pretty much every battleship-building navy had gone in for it except for the German and Russian navies-- the US Connecticut class battleships had 8" secondary guns, the French Dantons had 9.4" secondary guns, the Italian Regina Elena class had 8" guns, and several classes of British pre-dreadnought (e.g. King Edward VIIs and Lord Nelsons)had 9.2-inch guns in this role. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thunderthief (talkcontribs) 03:13, 23 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
