Will do. L293D (☎ • ✎) 02:30, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

First off, I must say what decided to take this article was the truly hilarious image of Hoche after her initial 1895 refit; It looks like the ship has been torpedoed or something, and that it's on the verge of sinking. That it was actually designed like that is beyond me.
 * Yeah, the French had some odd ideas when it came to ship design in the 19th century.


 * Do you have the reload of the main 13 in guns? If I understand correctly, the trend at the time was for big guns with a huge reload.
 * No, unfortunately - Friedman doesn't have that info, and I couldn't find anything on them in old editions of Brassey's, etc.
 * The 274mm/28 Modèle 1881 gun redlink is duplinked in the infobox.
 * Fixed
 * Do you have the range or the main battery guns?
 * Same as above, unfortunately

That's all I could find. The article is very well detailed for it's time. L293D (☎ • ✎) 02:44, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Passing., would you like me to nominate this article for DYK? I'm thinking of putting the funny image, with a hook such as "that the French ironclad Hoche had such a large superstructure that it was nicknamed "le Grand Hôtel"? Maybe also mention the freeboard.

 * Sure, that'd fine by me. Thanks again! Parsecboy (talk) 15:32, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
