  • the beam in the infobox doesn't match the text
  • the lower range of the crew in the infobox doesn't match the text
  • breech loading is mentioned and linked twice

  • the USNHC link at File:HMS Vanguard aft guns USNHC NH 52619.jpg is broken, and needs a date of publication for a PD-1923 tag
    • Updated
  • It is extremely unlikely that File:First battle squadron in the North Sea (April 1915).jpg was taken by a USN sailor
