Spanish patrol boat Serviola

... that Serviola thwarted two attempts at piracy in as many months?

New enough, long enough, looks neutral, well cited and no plagiarism detected. Photo seems free and looks OK as a thumbnail. QPQ done. ALT0 is better than ALT1, but may I suggest:
- ALT2: ... that the Spanish patrol boat Serviola thwarted two attempts at piracy in the Gulf of Guinea in as many months in 2019?

As an aside, the only Equatoguinean frigate seems to be the Wele-Nzas, so it would be nice to name her in the article if you can find a source. Srnec (talk) 01:04, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

- Thank you for the review, could we put the year first in the hook? i.e. [Refactored below] Either way, whatever you think the best wording of ALT0 would be is 100% fine with me. Fritzmann (message me) 00:54, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

ALT2a: ... that in 2019, the Spanish patrol boat Serviola thwarted two attempts at piracy in as many months?

Support ALT2a, but I'd drop the comma. Srnec (talk) 01:35, 20 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
