### Review comments
Lead

She was the third member of the Terrible class, which included three other vessels. They were built... suggest rephrasing: She was the third of four ships of the Terrible class, built...
Good idea
The last sentence of the first para of the lead refers to the Terrible not Caiman
Fixed
..but by the early 1900s, as numerous, more effective pre-dreadnought battleships had been built since 1890. this flows oddly. Suggest rephrasing: but by the early 1900s, as numerous, more effective pre-dreadnought battleships had been built since 1890.
Done
Infobox

The torpedo tubes mentioned in the design section aren't listed in the armament section
Good catch
Perhaps add a note that the specs are as built to avoid confusion with the changes made due to the modifications in her later years?
Probably worthwhile to add a separate box for the refit, seeing as it was fairly significant
Service history

Any info on namesake? Presumably it is for the Caiman
Nothing I saw, but that seems fairly obvious
The dates for the modernisation work differs between the design section and here (1898 and 1900 respectively)
Fixed - 1900 is correct
There is a big gap in her career between 1906 and 1927, presumably a reflection on the sources. Is there even a decommissioning date?
No, unfortunately - Conway's is a bit sparse, and I couldn't find anything post-1906 in any of Brassey's annuals. French ships of the era aren't particularly well documented (with the exception of a handful, like Furieux).
Other stuff

No dupe links
No dabs or external links
Image tags look OK
Looks in good order generally, minimal issues identified. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 23:34, 21 February 2020 (UTC)

This looks all in order. I'm satisfied that the article meets the GA criteria. Cheers, Zawed (talk) 09:16, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
