"During Uragan's sea trials on 31 May 1865, she reached a maximum speed of 6.5 knots (12.0 km/h; 7.5 mph), one of the faster ships in her class." Perhaps "During Uragan's sea trials on 31 May 1865, she reached a maximum speed of 6.5 knots (12.0 km/h; 7.5 mph), making her one of the faster ships in her class."
Good idea.
" but Uragan was modified for the addition of 0.5-inch (12.7 mm) armor plates after completion. It is, however, unknown if they were ever fitted, although they were manufactured and then placed in storage." Somewhat confusing perhaps: "but Uragan was modified, so as to be ready for the addition of 0.5-inch (12.7 mm) armor plates after completion. It is, however, unknown if they were ever fitted, although they were manufactured and then placed in storage."
I used slightly different wording, but your idea is sound.
