Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/requests/Yugoslav monitor Sava

Great article. In the section for post-war period, is there a reason for the jump in chronology from the 1980s/1990s to 2014, then to 2005, and back again to 2014? This also happens in the lede. The reason doesn't seem self-evident, and it's somewhat jarring to the flow of reading. EyeTruth (talk) 22:12, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A very good point. I've now addressed this issue in both places. Thanks, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 06:48, 4 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The Yugoslav monitor Sava was a river monitor built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy as SMS Bodrog. She and two other monitors fired the first shots of World War I on the night of 28 July 1914, when they shelled Serbian defences near Belgrade. During the war, she fought the Serbian and Romanian armies, and was captured in its closing stages. She was transferred to the newly created Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia), and renamed Sava. During the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, she fought off several air attacks, but was scuttled on 11 April. Sava was later raised by the Axis puppet state, the Independent State of Croatia, and continued to serve under that name until 1944 when she was again scuttled. Following World War II, Sava was raised again, and was refurbished to serve in the Yugoslav Navy from 1952 to 1962. After that she was transferred to a company and became a gravel barge. In 2005, the government of Serbia granted her limited heritage protection after citizens demanded that she be preserved as a floating museum. (Full article...)
