Nothing major:

A few duplicate links - if you don't have it, there's a tool you can install here that will help you find them.
I don't know that you need to specify that Sarkozy was "the then-President" - I imagine it should be clear that he was the president at the time, not before or after the incident.
Link Royal Marines in the caption (and maybe specify that they're British
Additional useful links would be Mast (sailing), rocket launcher (I'd assume an RPG-7, but your sources may not be that specific) assault rifle (presumably an AKM of some variety, but again, the sources probably don't specify)
Convert the metric lengths of the vessels mentioned in the article
La Fayette-class frigate - the "La Fayette" bit should be italicized (you can use the {{sclass-}} template to avoid unnecessary piping - {{Sclass|La Fayette|frigate|1}} produces La Fayette-class frigate. Parsecboy (talk) 20:38, 3 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
