  • "was based that" - missing an "on", I think
    • Good catch.
  • As I recall from Feron's article on Furieux, these ships' superstructures were so narrow that the guns could (theoretically) be fired directly astern, one on either side - might be worth mentioning?
    • Caresse specifically says that the turret's traverse was limited to 330°. I suspect that the turret wasn't as wide as that of Furieux, etc., to make that possible.
  • Ropp mentions that Tempête was one of the first steel-built ships of the French fleet (along with Tonnere and Redoutable) - might be worth mentioning.
    • I'll save it for the class article, which I need to start.
  • Didn't we talk about Roche being self-published recently? I don't remember where we landed on that, and I didn't mention it at Talk:French ironclad Surveillante/GA1, the only relevant review I've done of your stuff.
    • You did, although I also forget where. The only thing that I've been able to confirm thus far is that he was listed as a translator for the FPDS Newsletter, which isn't quite enough, IMO. But I'm still looking...
  • No nav template for the class?
    • Not yet. Probably something that I'll do when I get to the class article, along with the proper cats.
  • Went trawling through GB and didn't find much of note. Nice work Parsecboy (talk) 17:39, 29 September 2020 (UTC)Reply
