 * Reworded (and shortened)
 * Don't abbreviate metric horsepower in the main body
 * Good idea - since I've started using the cvt template I have to remember to make myself use the full one for some things
 * Agreed, cvt is a godsend, but must remember not to use it for knots and it's useless for long tons
 * she could steam they
 * Good catch
 * could not be steered at all while under sail So uncontrollable under sail alone? I don't think I've ever seen a steam ship mentioned as bad as that under sail.
 * Yeah, it struck me as odd as well - lots of these sail/steam era ships had poor performance under sail, but I've never seen anything that bad
 * She carried an armament They
 * Fixed
 * When was Salamander put into reserve?
 * Added
 * Wooden stokeholds from an experienced British builder? How curious.

 * Clarified
 * they passed into Royal Navy control Passive voice howzabout "were transferred to"

 * Which volume of Gröner?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:14, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Now I'm going to need to go fix all of the refs in several hundred articles... Parsecboy (talk) 11:56, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hey, I've always said that the easiest way to boost your edit count was to make a mistake and propagate across dozens or hundreds of articles; and then get caught noticed and have to fix them all! You should be grateful to me for this opportunity!--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:32, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Haha, I guess that's true. It turned out to be 295 articles that needed to be fixed (hopefully I haven't missed any) and 2 hours of my time - times like that make me wish I knew how to run a bot. Parsecboy (talk) 15:44, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Crikey, mate! My ADD wouldn't allow me to do more than a dozen or two at a time, I'm afraid.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:53, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it was pretty brutal, even interspersing it with work ;) Parsecboy (talk) 16:25, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
