:::Thanks for the review. To be honest I'm not sure about your alt; I think the fact that two of the grounded ships were recovered and repaired is the significant part of the hook rather than the grounding per se, but I'm not that bothered either way.--[[User:Jackyd101|Jackyd101]] ([[User talk:Jackyd101|talk]]) 19:18, 12 June 2015 (UTC) | :::Thanks for the review.

Action of 30 June 1798
- ... that during the Action of 30 June 1798 all three battling frigates grounded on the French Biscay coast but only two ever sailed again?
- Reviewed: Timeline of troodontid research
Created by Jackyd101 (talk). Self-nominated at 18:04, 27 May 2015 (UTC).
Article new and long enough, well-written & referenced. Hook under 200 characters and interesting enough. Hook fact sourced to (offline) book source. Sasata (talk) 04:20, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
- I don't see what "but only two ever sailed again" adds to the hook, IMO the hook would be better without it because the fact that all three ships grounded is the unusual fact and the extra phrase just distracts attention from it. In fact I'll add an alt:
- ALT1: ... that during the Action of 30 June 1798 in the Bay of Biscay, all three battling frigates grounded? Gatoclass (talk) 14:29, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
- Another suggestion -
- ALT2: ... that even after all three involved frigates grounded during the Action of 30 June 1798, the battle continued? Gatoclass (talk) 06:19, 13 June 2015 (UTC)
