Consistency and expansion

Hi all,
Reviewing articles on argentinian cruisers, I've noticed that for the ships of this class ("Veinticinco de Mayo" cruisers) there is still room for improvement. So I'll try to find out some additional sources (printed and/or online) and will try to expand a bit both articles and make them consistent.

Quality re-assessment

After revisiting the assessment checklist I believe that this article can qualify as Start (albeit a "light" one!), so will upgrade it from Stub. Regards, DPdH (talk) 05:54, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article now qualifies as "start" as per guidelines from related wikiprojects, reclassified as such. Regards, DPdH (talk) 20:50, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Erroneous information

This article repeats some erroneous information I have seen elsewhere on the web, to the effect that this was one of only three cruiser classes with 7.5" guns.

In fact there were many more: the British built four classes of armored cruisers with 7.5" guns (Warrior, Minotaur, Achilles and Devonshire classes), plus the Hawkins class after WWI; the Italians built two classes of armored cruisers (Pisa and San Giorgio) and an armored cruiser for the Greeks (Averoff), all of which used the same British design 7.5 inch guns. Also the Austrians used the 19 cm guns (7.48") that were so close as to be no different, and the French used the very similar 19.4 cm guns (7.64") in many cruiser classes. The British also built a pair of ships some call armored cruisers and others call battleships (Triumph and Swiftsure), then bought them from their intended purchasers.

It would be correct, and on the intended point, to say this was the only class of Treaty cruisers using the 7.5" gun. The Hawkins were before the Washington Treaty, although kept and used under it and a possible cause for the Treaty cruiser gun limits. The others were all built before the First World War.
