TFA blurb review

Ljubljana was the third and last Beograd-class destroyer built for the Royal Yugoslav Navy in the late 1930s. She was designed to operate as part of a division led by the flotilla leader Dubrovnik. Ljubljana entered service in December 1939, was armed with a main battery of four Škoda 120 mm (4.7 in) guns in single mounts, and had a top speed of 35 knots (65 km/h; 40 mph). In 1940, Ljubljana ran aground on a reef off the Yugoslav port of Šibenik, where, badly damaged, she was taken for repairs. Yugoslavia entered World War II when the German-led Axis powers invaded in April 1941, and Ljubljana—still under repair—was captured by the Royal Italian Navy. After repairs were completed, she saw active service in the Royal Italian Navy under the name Lubiana, mainly as a convoy escort on routes between Italy and North Africa. She was lost on 1 April 1943, either sunk by British aircraft, or grounded off the Tunisian coast. (This article is part of a featured topic: Ships of the Royal Yugoslav Navy.)

G'day @FAC coordinators: I was going to nom this for 1 April, but appreciate levity is more important on that date, so I won't. The other good date for this is 28 June, but I have another pending nom for that date, so I'd like to suggest you use this as an emergency or gap-filler whenever you deem necessary.
