Initial comments

"The ship served as the flotilla leader for the 2nd Destroyer Flotilla" - I recommend removing this red link
"Bellona spent the bulk of World War I with the squadron" - the 1st Battle Squadron?
- Clarified.
"Her conning tower was protected by four inches of armour" - convert to metric
"As a scout cruiser, the ship was only lightly protected to maximize her speed" - maximise
"On 17 December 1914, Bellona collided with the destroyer leader Broke" - why is the HMS prefix missing?
- I generally save the prefix for when a ship is operating in a group of mixed nationalities.
No dead links
No dab links

Minor nitpicking stuff, but this will pass once they are all out of the way JAGUAR 21:16, 1 May 2016 (UTC) Thanks for reviewing this. It's been a pleasure working with you.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 21:58, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for addressing them. You too! With all of those done, I'll pass this. JAGUAR 22:42, 1 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
