Initial comments
No difference, but I can't get the template to use British spelling for the life of me, even though that's supposed to be the default. I'm gonna have to ask about that.
 * "Penelope was mobilized as tensions with Russia rose" - mobilised
 * "She carried a maximum of 500 long tons (510 t) of coal" - tonnes? I think 'tonne' is British spelling (I've always used it) but I don't know if ton or tonne had different meanings back in those days...
 * "She was part of the Particular Service Squadron mobilized during the Russian war scare" - mobilised
 * "The ship was laid down on 4 September" - this needs a year
 * See prior sentence
 * "she was at Gibraltar on the summer cruise when the Anglo-Egyptian War" - link Anglo-Egyptian War
 * Linked in lede.
 * No dead links (correction, no links)
 * No dab links

Very good article, as usual. On hold until all are clarified. Interested to know the real difference between 'tons' and tonnes'! JAG UAR   21:08, 22 April 2016 (UTC) Thanks for reviewing all these; I think that you'll be ready to start writing some of your own by the time the contest ends!
 * I've always had an interest in Royal Navy ships as I still live near their biggest base! Not sure about writing them but from the amount of GANs I've reviewed, I'm probably familiar with everything by now. With all of those issues out of the way, this can pass  JAG  UAR   12:14, 23 April 2016 (UTC)
