"Though Egyptian warships were known to disguise their identities with Western markings, they usually displayed Arabic letters and numbers only.[citation needed]" This was a cute way to get around admitting there is no source for Egyptian ships disguising themselves with western markings. The whole clause "they usually displayed Arabic only" is totally unnecessary. 

If you insist on keeping the statement it should simply read "Egyptian warships were sometimes known [by who?] to disguise their identities with Western markings [citation needed]." The qualifying statement "but USUALLY it was Arabic" is a cop out. Find a source or mark it as without one.  

Sorry if I'm coming off pedantic but the twisting of words to try and keep the point looks petty. Let's keep things accurate with as little bias as possible for either side in the incident. 

Thank you for your consideration [[Special:Contributions/&#126;2026-11873-94|&#126;2026-11873-94]] ([[User talk:&#126;2026-11873-94|talk]]) 03:31, 16 March 2026 (UTC)
