Interesting article here, I didn't know ironclads from this era could have 16.5 or 17.7 inch guns! I guess this was part of the "big gun" trend in Europe, that then faded to smaller, more accurate guns. You tell me. Anyway, nice article, here will be reviewing soon.

- Not a huge fan of the redlink in the first sentence, would it be possible to replace it with a blue one?
- Nothing existing at this point in time - I'm planning on eventually writing the article, but haven't gotten to it yet.
- The Terribles were scaled down versions of the Amiral Baudin class, with one less main gun. - maybe add that the guns were way larger in caliber, although it is mentioned later.
- That I can do
- Because the ships were intended for operations against the German fleet in the shallow Baltic Sea, they had a shallow draft - two uses of "shallow", would it be possible to replace with a synonym?
- Reworded
- I really would like to have the reload of the 16.5 inch guns
- I don't have it, unfortunately - the oldest Friedman goes back is the 340mm Mle 1881 guns used in Hoche
- I also feel the range and ammunition of the guns would be useful. Did the rounds detonate on impact? Or were they solid shot?
- As above - most ships built before the 1890s are pretty poorly documented. They'd have been explosive shells of some sort, but melinite didn't exist yet, and I don't know what they were using before that. Parsecboy (talk) 18:40, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
The first points are really details, but the gun data would be useful. L293D (☎ • ✎) 16:12, 6 March 2020 (UTC)
