 * 1) Is it broad in its coverage?
 * A. Major aspects:
 * Yes, I do have the 1860 Conways, I had just forgotten to look at it when I wrote the article. I've fixed most of what you pointed out. There's no good link to armored frigate though; the best I think there is is Ironclad warship or this short paragraph. Parsecboy (talk) 15:09, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, the short paragraph will do.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 15:57, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Added. Parsecboy (talk) 17:36, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm certain that the 37-mm guns were Hotchkiss 5-barrel revolving guns, which were not autocannon since they were hand cranked. What kind of steam engines, etc. did she receive when she was modernized? How thick was the armor of the barbettes?--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 18:53, 22 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Is there a source for them being Hotchkiss guns? Groner just says "37mm machine cannon." I added the other two. Parsecboy (talk) 02:21, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Conway's says 37-mm revolving cannon and there's only one producer of those at this time since Nordenfelt, etc, didn't do revolving guns in that caliber.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 04:53, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Good enough for me. Parsecboy (talk) 14:23, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
