review
  • "She spent most of the rest of the war blockading the Straits of Otranto and the Dardanelles to prevent German, Austro-Hungarian and Turkish warships bottled up." - don't understand. Is a word left out? To prevent them from being "bottled up" or what?
  • "This, combined with other poor traits, including the great weight in coal they had to carry, made them rather unsuccessful ships" - I've complained about the "rather unsuccessful ships" before. For some reason that's the only way to word it?
    • Cut it down a bit, how does it read now?
  • I also wonder about the Mediterranean Fleet, which in this article appear to be a French Mediterranean Fleet. Is this link right?
  • otherwise, a-okay. will put on hold. MathewTownsend (talk) 20:11, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
