TFA blurb review

Beograd was the lead ship of a class of destroyers built for the Royal Yugoslav Navy during the late 1930s. In World War II, she was damaged by a near miss during an air attack following the German-led Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, and then captured by the Italians (pictured, on right). After refitting, she saw extensive service with the Royal Italian Navy from August 1941 to September 1943, completing over 100 convoy escort missions in the Mediterranean under the name Sebenico, mainly on routes between Italy and the Aegean or North Africa. Following the Italian armistice in September 1943, she was captured by the German Navy and redesignated TA43. After serving with the 9th Torpedo Boat Flotilla on escort and minelaying duties in the northern Adriatic, she was sunk or scuttled at Trieste on 30 April or 1 May 1945. She was raised in June 1946, probably to remove her as a navigation hazard, only to be scuttled again in either July 1946 or in 1947. (Full article...)
