  • Comment: The first hook refers to the ruse de guerre employed against the French privateer, L'Orient. If you think that's too difficult for readers to work out, please use one of the other suggestions.

  • Reviewing
  • Article is new enough, long enough and neutral.
  • It is supported by inline references from appropriate sources.
  • No copyvio on Earwig.
  • Hooks are properly formatted and short enough. I think the original is OK for a general audience and the enigma in the question makes it eye-catching. It is surprising that the tactic was a legitimate ruse de guerre. ALT 1 is the better of the other 2.
