Last night I found an article on the Rumanian Navy in WWII in an older issue of Warship. It contains a brief account of a battle between Rumanian and Soviet Danube River forces, including monitors on both sides, early in the war. As I was reading the article, it occured to me that it might be relevant, but I couldn't remember the name of your monitor and wasn't where I could access the Forum. No time to crosswalk the article and this thread this morning and I am tied up at the office all day today and have a commitment tonight, but as soon as I can, I will provide a quotation from the book describing the battle and the participants. Perhaps your monitor or a sister ship was involved.

Incidentally, according to the lengthy article, the Rumanian Navy was the only combatant navy of WWII that never lost a single fleet warship in spite of being heavily engaged (several auxiliaries were lost, but no commissioned warships).
