Suppressing revolts

The article refers to this ship being used to suppress uprisings on several occasions, but doesn't explicitly say what this involved. Did she shell the settlements (which was a depressingly common practice among the European colonial powers, and something the Royal Australian Navy also engaged in at times), land sailors/marines to serve as police, or something else?

Hildebrand et. al. aren't very specific - but I'd assume all of those things were done at various times. What details I could find (the gunnery drills and the Melanesian infantry detachment) were also fairly sparse. Unfortunately, it seems the record of the German Navy's actions in their Asian colonies (well, all of their colonies, really) is very poorly documented in English. I don't know about German-language sources, but those are generally unavailable for me. Parsecboy (talk) 14:49, 27 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Beam

How wide was the beam of the ship: 12.5 m (in table) or 12.7 (in text) ?--Валерий Пасько (talk) 16:49, 24 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It's 12.7 - the first two ships in the class had a beam of 12.5, I must have copied the box from their articles a little too carelessly. Thanks for catching it. Parsecboy (talk) 11:35, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
