• No DABs.
• Images appropriately licensed.
• Suggest that metric conversions be given in feet and inches rather than decimal.
  • A good idea

  • Done
• sixteen 48-pounder muzzle-loading guns I assume smoothbores?
  • Probably, but I don't know for sure - Erzherzog Ferdinand Max was to have been equipped with rifled guns, and she was ordered only a couple years after Juan de Austria.
    • I was afraid of that. We need Friedman to do a book on ironclad-era naval guns, dammit!--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 14:56, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
• 12-pounder gun and a six-pounder The ship's hull Missing a period, I suspect. Do you know if these are smoothbores or rifled?
  • No, unfortunately.
• Was the entire ship's side covered by armor? If so, say so.
  • Clarified
• On 16 July, Persano took the Italian fleet, with twelve ironclads, out of Ancona, bound for the island of Lissa, where they arrived on the 18th. <Perry Mason voice>Objection, your honor, repetitious</voice>
  • Ha - wonder how I ended up doing that.
• the 17 and 19 July extra word, I assume.
  • Fixed
• his flagship, Re d'Italia to comma after the name.
  • Good catch
• The latter scored three hit on missing letter on hit
  • Fixed
• 7-inch (178 mm) muzzleloaders hyphenate muzzleloaders
  • Done. Thanks Sturm. Parsecboy (talk) 12:09, 27 April 2016 (UTC)
