Initial comments

I feel that the lead could be expanded slightly, to summarise the article according to WP:LEADLENGTH. A sentence or two on its career should do it
"Howe recommissioned for the Home Fleet in early 1901" - how is this part relevant to the lead section or HMS Anson? Did Howe's recommissioning have some consequence for this ship?
"The ship was paid off in three years later" - just three years later
"their draught increased by another 6 inches" - convert to metric
- All measurements are converted on first use only.
"by armoured tubes with walls 12 inches thick" - convert to metric
"She returned home and paid off at Devonport" - link Ship decommissioning
- Linked in the lede.

Another short one. Just minor stuff this time, but once all are addressed then this should be good to go. JAGUAR 11:53, 11 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
