TFA blurb review

[edit]

Jauréguiberry was a pre-dreadnought battleship constructed for the French Navy in the 1890s. Constraints on displacement imposed by the French naval command made this and four other similar battleships significantly inferior to their British counterparts, suffering from poor stability and a mixed armament that was difficult to control in combat conditions. In peacetime the ship participated in routine training exercises, primarily as part of the Mediterranean Squadron. The ship suffered a boiler explosion and three accidental torpedo detonations, and ran aground during a visit to Portsmouth in August 1905. By 1907, she had been transferred to the Reserve Division, although she continued to participate in maneuvers and other peacetime activities. Following the outbreak of World War I in July 1914, Jauréguiberry escorted troop convoys from North Africa and India to France. She supported French troops during the Gallipoli Campaign and was a guard ship at Port Said from 1916 until the end of the war. (Full article...)

I also found one small change to make. Otherwise it's good to go. Cadar (talk) 10:13, 12 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]
