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 "thea 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)
