She was renamed again when she was re-purchased by the Romanians in 1920. - clarify that she was renamed Mărășești
A lot of "she"s in the lead - perhaps change a few to "Mărășești" or "the ship".
After the Axis invasion of the Soviet Union on 22 June 1941 (Operation Barbarossa), - not a fan of the parentheses, pipe the link or place in commas.
In early 1944 the Soviets were able to cut off and surround the port of Sevastopol on the Crimean Peninsula. She escorted convoys evacuating Axis troops from Sevastopol and rescued some troops herself in May. - merge in one sentence
Renamed Lyogkiy , the ship only served for a year before she was returned to the Romanians who renamed her D11 in 1952. - remove space before comma and change one occurrence of renamed to a synonym if possible.
Nibbio was laid down by Pattison on 29 January 1914 at their Naples shipyard. - the ship was laid by Pattison? The person or the company? Also suggest unlinking Naples or shipyard per WP:SEAOFBLUE
Assigned to the Adriatic, the ship was covering the recovery of a broken-down flying boat in the Gulf of Drin with her sisters Aquila and Sparviero on 5 September when they spotted three Austro-Hungarian torpedo boats sweeping mines. - "covering the recovery" sounds repetitive to me.
The following month, the sisters escorted Allied ships as they bombarded Durazzo, Albania, on 2 October. Nibbio, Aquila and their sister Sparviero covered the ships bombarding Medua on 21 October. - merge in one sentence to avoid the confusing pronouns.
Massively outnumbered by the Soviet Black Sea Fleet, the Romanian ships were kept behind the minefields defending Constanța for several months after the start of Operation Barbarossa on 22 June 1941, training for convoy escort operations - long, suggest split in two
Beginning on 5 October, the Romanians began laying minefields - begin comes up twice, reword
the Romanians is repeated twice in para 1, change one to the Romanian navy
Sometime during 1941–1942, gthe ships turbines were damaged and limited her to a speed of 22 knots (41 km/h; 25 mph). - to my knowledge, "gthe" is not an English word
After Sevastopol surrendered on 4 July, - Sevastopol surrendered to who?
Mărășești was renamed D11 when the Romanian destroyers were assigned numbers when the Destroyer Division was redesignated as the 418th Destroyer Division in 1952. - three times the verb 'is' and twice 'when', reword or split

7 July 1943 attack
Just to stress how unreliable can be the Romanian war-time source, i stumbled upon almost casually on the original German liason officer onboard concerning the ASW attack on 7 July 1943 assumed on some Romanian sources to have sunk M-31 (that was lost on December '1942). The intercepted British ULTRA report it's on DEFE 3/607 (ZTPGM 24000-24999) pagg935 (digital page952 can be read on this link in preview page of British national archives): https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C1910504
On detail, there was "No observed success", a BV seaplane made a recce and observed "where the submarine dived".
(The daily report also include another anti-submarine attack made by a Ju-88 later). Lupodimare89 (talk) 18:58, 27 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
