"They were poor sailors", suggest "the ships were" as some readers could presume the ship's crew was being referred to somehow.
"Her crew was relieved in 1884 and the ship remained on station...[until] 1887", was Briton crewless at this time, laid up at anchor? Or was another crew put aboard?
"followed her sisters after a two year delay...", accurate but looks slightly awkward. Perhaps "The construction of Thetis..."?
"
China Station" should be wikilinked (are there pages for any of the other Stations?)
Added and all are linked in the lede. All other comments addressed except as noted.--

Article is well-referenced to reputable sources and avoids OR.
It is broad in its coverage.
a (major aspects): b (focused):
Article provides a good overview of the class, and the descriptions of each ship are suitable leadins to their own articles, without needless digression.
Article lacks images; I assume this is because there are simply no suitable free-use images that could be provided?
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
As I said, there's just a few minor things that need addressing here, so I'm putting this on hold until they can be tweaked.
