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 Dubrovnik, the flotilla leader. Ljubljana entered service in November 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 Axis powers led by Germany 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, when she ran aground and was abandoned off the Tunisian coast. (This article is part of a featured topic: Ships of the Royal Yugoslav Navy.)

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin

Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (1900–1979) was a British-born American astronomer and astrophysicist who proposed in her 1925 doctoral thesis that stars were composed primarily of hydrogen and helium. Her groundbreaking conclusion was initially rejected because it contradicted the scientific wisdom of the time, which held that there were no significant elemental differences between the Sun and Earth. Independent observations eventually proved she was correct. Her work on the nature of variable stars was foundational to modern astrophysics.

Sumburgh disaster

Greetings, please take note that the aircraft involved in this incident was NOT a CH-47. It was a Boeing Model 234 Chinook. (Note: rectangular windows versus round windows. This seat 44 in airline passenger comfort with an on board lavatory and numerous other differences including drive train and avionics). --Trashbag (talk) 14:58, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I assume no one will see this for a while, but I went ahead and added this entry seeing as how it's the 150th anniversary and all. Feel free to reach out if I've done something wrong. Been probably a year or more since I nominated something here. GMGtalk 15:37, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@GreenMeansGo: Article looks good for the most part. The only concern I have is that the lead says it was signed on April 29, so readers will experience a bit of confusion when they read the article on November 6 and wonder what it's doing there. Would it be better to list it on April 29 instead? Alternatively, please expand the lead to explain the significance of November 6. Thanks. howcheng {chat} 00:11, 15 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
