"300 tonnes": the metric unit should be the converted one.
"On the other hand, Alexander wisely limited such occasions to a reasonable minimum", "the admirals wisely refrained from a shooting battle": among other problems, the tone here is different from the rest of the article.
I'm not going to take a position on the spelling
Constanţa, but someone probably will. That can't be the most common spelling in English sources.
"Captain Fyodor Stark (1876–1939)": we rarely give birth and death dates for captains; is there some special relevance here?
Concerning "June 11–12 (O.S. May 28–29)", etc.: according to
Old Style, the two calendars are usually off by 13 days after 1900; that's 14 days difference. Also, MOSNUM says: "The dating method used should follow that used by reliable secondary sources. If the reliable secondary sources disagree, choose the most common used by reliable secondary sources and note the usage in a footnote." That is, don't give conversions for every date; pick one and go with it. It seems to me that since most of our sources are either non-Russian or post-1918 or both, most of our sources will be Gregorian.
"four to five thousand tons": I never have been able to figure out the rules on when to convert units for "tons". - Dank (

"eight to ten miles": same here, never known when to convert that. - Dank (
