500+ Good Articles in, there's not going to be much.. but am happy to review this.

  • Might be worth mentioning in the lead she was steam powered
  • but the rifling project was seriously delayed and the ship was completed with nine-inch smoothbores; was this the original smoothbores? Or some others?
    • Clarified.
  • license-built; WL to Licensed production?
    • Done.
  • just as in the Passaic-class ships; the lead says The design was based on the American Passaic-class monitor, but this is the only mention in the article prose. Is there anything to expand on here?
    • Only minorly.
  • Unlike their predecessors, the Uragans were built without deck armor to save weight, but Tifon was modified for the addition of 0.5-inch (12.7 mm) armor plates after completion, but it is unknown if they were ever fitted; fragments and "but" twice - consider revising
    • Tweaked.
  • The ship was subsequently broken up in Finland; but hadn't she been returned to the Soviets? Any more context to add here.
    • I wish, but she was pretty worthless by this time and my sources don't have any fuller information.

Nice little article. --Errant (chat!) 11:55, 29 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks; I think that I've addressed everything, see if they suit. And thanks for looking this over.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:21, 30 October 2015 (UTC)Reply
