I will be instant passing, as it meets all the criteria, before making some prose suggestions. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 15:57, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Prose Suggestions[edit]

"before Germany had declared a protectorate in the country." Would "before Germany declared the country a protectorate" work better?
"she was ordered to join the cruise squadron Germany maintained to respond to crises around the world." perhaps "she was ordered to join the cruise squadron, which Germany maintained to respond to crises around the world."
"The captain, Wilhelm Steubenrauch, was under orders to avoid any aggressive action, and to merely show the flag and report on conditions in the area." You may want to move this in front of "The ship's captain and a landing party went ashore to make sketches of the fortress ruins; they located six old guns, one of which was taken aboard Sophie and later returned to Germany for display."
That is all my suggestions.
