The Ganz & Company's Danubius Yard in Hungarian-owned Fiume (current-day Rijeka) was awarded the contract to build the battleship in return for the Hungarian government agreeing to the 1910 and 1911 naval budgets. She was named after Hungary's first Christian king, Saint Stephen (Hungarian:Szent István). She and her sister ships were regarded as very compact and powerful ships and were the first dreadnoughts in service with triple main-gun turrets. Her completion was delayed by the start of World War I, but she was commissioned in December 1915. She spent the bulk of the war at anchor in Pola (Pula), leaving harbour generally only for gunnery training. Her final mission began on the evening of 9 June 1918 when she sailed to rendezvous with the other dreadnoughts for an attack on the Otranto Barrage, scheduled for the following day. Two Italian MAS, a type of Motor Torpedo Boatemployed by the Regia Marina, discovered Szent István and her half-sister Tegetthoff early in the morning of 10 June 1918 while returning after a night patrol off the Dalmatian coast. They penetrated past her escorts and torpedoed her twice abreast her boiler rooms. They flooded, which knocked out power to the pumps, and Szent István capsized less than three hours after being torpedoed. All but 89 of her crew were rescued. She is the only battleship whose sinking was filmed during World War I. Her wreck was discovered in the mid-1970s, upside down, off the Croatian island ofPremuda. She has been declared a protected site by the Croatian Ministry of Culture and casual diving is forbidden. Design Main article: Tegetthoff-class battleship Szent István differed from her half-sisters mainly in her machinery. She only had two shafts and two turbines, unlike the four shaft arrangement of the other ships of her class. External differences included a platform built around the fore funnel which extended from the bridge to the after funnel and on which several searchlights were installed. A further distinguishing feature was the modified ventilator trunk in front of the mainmast. She was the only ship of her class not to be fitted with torpedo nets. General characteristics Szent István had an overall length of 152.18 metres (499 ft 3 in), a beam of 28 metres (91 ft 10 in), and a draught of 8.6 metres (28 ft 3 in) at deep load. She displaced 20,008 tonnes (19,692 long tons) at load and 21,689 tonnes (21,346 long tons) at deep load. The skegfor each propeller shaft was a solid, blade-like fitting, unlike the strut-type skegs used in her half-sisters, that had such a high transversal resistance that the rudder could only be laid at a maximum angle of 10° at full speed to avoid a heavy list. The hull was built with a double bottom 1.22 metres (4 ft 0 in) deep with a reinforced inner bottom that consisted of two layers of 25-millimetre (1 in) plates. She was fitted with two AEG-Curtis steam turbines, each of which was housed in a separate engine-room. The turbines were powered by twelveBabcock & Wilcox boilers in two boiler rooms. The turbines were designed to produce a total of 26,000 shaft horsepower (19,388 kW), enough for her designed speed of 20 knots (23 mph; 37 km/h), but no figures from her trials are known to exist. She carried 1,844.5 tonnes (1,815.4 long tons) of coal, and an additional 267.2 tonnes (263.0 long tons) of fuel oil that was to be sprayed on the coal to increase its burn rate. At full capacity, she could steam for 4,200 nautical miles (7,800 km) at a speed of 10 knots (12 mph; 19 km/h). Szent István mounted twelve 305-millimetre (12 in)/45-caliber K 10 guns in four triple turrets. Her secondary armament consisted of twelve 15-centimetre (5.91 in)/50 K 10 guns mounted in casemates amidships. Twelve 66-millimetre (3 in)/50 K 10 guns were mounted on open pivot mounts on the upper deck, above the casemates. Three more 66-mm K 10 guns were mounted on the upper turrets for anti-aircraft duties. Four 21-inch (530 mm) submerged torpedo tubes were fitted, one each in the bow, stern and on each broadside; twelve torpedoes were carried. The waterline armour belt of the Tegetthoff-class dreadnoughts measured 280 millimetres (11 in) thick between the midpoints of the fore and aft barbettes and thinned to 150 millimetres further towards the bow and stern, but did not reach either the bow or the stern. It was continued to the bow by a small patch of 110–130-millimetre (4–5 in) armour. The upper armour belt had a maximum thickness of 180 millimetres (7 in), but it thinned to 110 millimeters from the forward barbette all the way to the bow. The casemate armour was also 180 millimetres thick. The sides of the main gun turrets, barbettes and main conning tower were protected by 280 millimetres (11 in) of armour, except for the turret and conning tower roofs which were 60 to 150 millimetres (2 to 6 in) thick. The thickness of the decks ranged from 30 to 48 millimetres (1 to 2 in) in two layers. The underwater protection system consisted of the extension of the double bottom up to the lower edge of the waterline armour belt, with a thin 10-millimetre (0.4 in) plate acting as the outermost bulkhead. It was backed by a torpedo bulkhead that consisted of two layered 25-millimetre plates. The total thickness of this system was only 1.6 metres (5 ft 3 in) which made it incapable of containing a torpedo warhead detonation ormine explosion without rupturing. Construction The ship was laid down on 29 January 1912 at Ganz & Company's Danubius yard at Fiume (current-day Rijeka), the only large Hungarian shipyard in Croatia as Hungarian: János Hunyadi, commemorating the Hungarian national hero. Ganz & Company was awarded the contract to build the battleship in return for the Hungarian government agreeing to the 1910 and 1911 naval budgets. This involved great expense by the Hungarian government, as the yard had hitherto only built smaller merchant ships for, amongst others, Österreichischer Lloyd, and therefore had to be itself refitted for the building of larger vessels. However she was renamed Szent István by order of the Emperor Franz Joseph before she was launched on 17 January 1914. It was customary for either the Emperor or his heir to be present at the launching of a major warship, but Franz Joseph was too feeble and his heir, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, refused to be there as a consequence of his anti-Hungarian attitudes. Franz Joseph sent a telegram of congratulations that negated the snub offered by his heir. During the launching itself there was an accident when the starboard anchor had to be dropped to prevent the ship from hitting a ship carrying spectators, but the anchor chain had not been shackled to the ship and it struck two dockworkers, killing one and crushing the arm of the other. Her fitting out was delayed by the start of the war, but she was finally commissioned on 13 December 1915. Service Szent István was based at Pola (Pula) for the duration of her career. In fact she rarely left port except for gunnery practice in the nearby FažanaStrait. She only spent 54 days at sea during her 937 days in service and made only a single, two-day, trip to Pag Island. Only 5.7% of her life was spent at sea; for the rest of the time she swung at anchor in Pola Harbour. She was never even drydocked to get her bottom cleaned. Her tenure in Pola was enlivened by a visit from the new Emperor Karl I on 15 December 1916 and another by Kaiser Wilhelm on 12 December 1917 during his inspection of the German submarine base there. The Italians conducted no fewer than eighty air raids on Pola between 1915 and 1917 which undoubtedly kept the crews of her anti-aircraft gun busy. Sinking The film footage about the sinking of SMS Szent István.[2] undesarchiv_Bild_134-C2280,_Szent_Istv%C3%A1n,_Sinkendes_Linienschiff.jpg" style="color: rgb(11, 0, 128); background: none;"> Szent István low in the water The last moments of Szent István By 1918, the Allies had strengthened their blockade on the Strait of Otranto. As a result, it was becoming more difficult for German and Austro-Hungarian U-boats to get through the strait and into the Mediterranean. In response to these new measures at blockading the straits, the new commander of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, Konteradmiral Miklós Horthydecided to launch an attack on the Allied defenders with battleships, scout cruisers, and destroyers. During the night of 8 June, Horthy left the naval base of Pola with Viribus Unitis and Prinz Eugen. At about 11:00 pm on 9 June 1918 Szent István and Tegetthoff,escorted by one destroyer and six torpedo boats, departed Pola, after some troubles getting the harbour defense barrage opened. They were en route to the harbour at Slano, north ofDubrovnik (Ragusa) to rendezvous with Viribus Unitis and Prinz Eugen, for a coordinated attack on the Otranto Barrage. At about 3:15 am on 10 June, two Italian MAS boats, MAS 15 and MAS 21, spotted the smoke from the Austrian ships while returning from an uneventful patrol off the Dalmatian coast. The MAS platoon was commanded by Capitano di corvetta Luigi Rizzo, who had sunk the Austro-Hungarian coastal defense ship SMS Wien in Trieste six months before. The individual boats were commanded by Capo timoniereArmando Gori and Guardiamarina di complemento Giuseppe Aonzo respectively. Both boats successfully penetrated the escort screen and split to engage each of the dreadnoughts.MAS 21 attacked Tegetthoff, but her torpedoes failed to hit the ship. MAS 15 fired her two torpedoes successfully at 3:25 am at Szent István. Both boats evaded any pursuit although MAS 15 had to discourage the torpedo boat Tb 76 by dropping depth charges in her wake. Tegetthoff thought that the torpedoes were fired by submarines and pulled out of the formation and started to zigzag to throw off any further attacks. She repeatedly fired on suspected submarine periscopes until she rejoined her half-sister at 4:45. Szent István was hit by two 45-centimetre (18 in) torpedoes abreast her boiler rooms. The aft boiler room quickly flooded and gave the ship a 10° list to starboard. Counterflooding of the portside trim cells and magazines reduced the list to 7°, but efforts to use collision mats to plug the holes failed. While this was going on the dreadnought steered for the nearbyBay of Brgulje at low speed. However, water continued to leak into the forward boiler room and eventually doused all but the two boilers on the port side. This killed the power for the pumps and only left enough electricity to run the lights. The turrets were trained to port in a pointless effort to counter the list and their ready ammunition was thrown overboard.An attempt by Tegetthoff to take the crippled battleship into tow was also abandoned after it became clear that Szent István was doomed.Flooding continued, and the ship capsizedat 6:05 am off Premuda Island. Only 89 sailors died—41 from Hungary—the low death toll partly attributed to the fact that all sailors with the KuK Navy had to learn to swim before entering active service. Film footage exists of Szent István '​s last half-hour, taken by Linienschiffsleutnant Meusburger of the Tegetthoff with his own camera as well as by an official film crew. The two films were later spliced together and exhibited in the United States during the Great Depression. The wreck of the Szent István was located in the mid-1970s by the SFR Yugoslav Navy. She is upside down at a depth of 66 metres (217 ft).Her bow broke off when it hit the seabed while the stern was still afloat, but is immediately adjacent to the rest of the heavily encrusted hull. The two holes from the torpedo hits are visible in the side of the ship as is another deep hole which may be from a torpedo fired at Tegetthoff by MAS 21. She is a protected site of the Croatian Ministry of Culture and diving is forbidden without permission. In 2008, divers from Hungary placed a wreath on the Szent István '​s wreck during a ceremony that was attended by members of the Austrian and Croatian governments. All three countries were once part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. Consequences Konteradmiral Miklós Horthy, commander of the proposed attack, cancelled the attack because he thought that the Italians had discovered his plan and ordered the ships to return to Pola. In fact the Italians did not even discover that the Austrian dreadnoughts had departed Pola until later on 10 June when aerial reconnaissance photos revealed that they were no longer there. Capitano di fregata Luigi Rizzo was awarded his second Gold Medal of Military Valor, his first was for sinking the pre-dreadnought battleship Wien in 1917, and appointed a knight in the Order of the Crown of Italy. After the war MAS 15was installed in the Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II as part of the Museo del Risorgimento in Rome. The anniversary of the sinking has been celebrated by the Regia Marina, and its successor, the Marina Militare, as its Navy Day (Italian: Festa della Marina).

I do not understand the game included a premium ship (Murmansk) piastres not be considered. I hope there will be some solution. Yesterday I went down to the premium account.

Nice work! This is similar!

Hey!To upload a couple of screenshots of a battle well succeed.

Hey!First of all, I'm glad that there are a lot of new players.However, in recent days sadly found that some of the players are not really good use of aircraft carriers.Bad recipe:1. Buy a Langley2. Leave a buddy, he can pick one up.3. Go on a joint bid Squad.4. As soon as the battle starts, both of you just deal with where to enemy aircraft carrier.5. If you have it all ties torpedo bomber send it to the hostile aircraft carrier and must be sinking!I do not think that the primary goal of this aircraft carriers.Are easy to be taking a lot of damage.However, your team is not very helpful in critical situations.I think the aircraft carriers is very good and exciting fights to fight so that he can enjoy your teammates. (Do not just think about yourself, all members of the team need to win.) I actually do not really bother if it sometimes happens, but recently experienced several times.See you at the seadarazsbalazs

Lexington had the CAT in each. Independence is now one of the harbor.

Drednaught losses in World War I Month in February 1906 of a new warship was launched. It was called HMS Drednaught. It was a completely new design, no time has been made obsolete ships. As well as completely new type of warship was born. From that day on each country's maritime power of these ships would have liked to build or buy. The new battleships speed, firepower, armor was much better than earlier ships built these properties. Achieve these properties, the implementation proved to be very costly. Tried to expose the least risk during the war, these precious national symbols. Despite all efforts, many victims of the battleship shafts, internal explosions, sinking or committed by the crew. This little scripture HMS Audacious battleship deals. HMS Audacious, a member of the King George V class battleship, which was consisted of four parts. Its construction began in the Cammell Laird shipyard Limited on 23 March 1911. September 14, 1912 was launched. 21 October 1913 entered service, the second battleship unit, as a member of the first division. At the beginning of the First World War was the second Navy battleship unity of the members. 27 October 1914 The second battleship unit (King George V, Ajax, Centurion, Audacious, Monarch, Thunderer, Orion) Lough Swilly sailed out. Shooting practice started beside Loch na Keal in Ireland. Morning 08: 45 am, while a mine ran round the Audacious. The mines were laid down in the ship called Berlin. Near the Tory Island. The explosion under the boat, 4.9 meters occurred. The left rear engine room occurred before transverse, watertight bulkheads 3 meters. The left engine room and boiler room and the X-tower armory and the premises were under water immediately below it. Oozing toward the center engine room and the premises belonging to the water. The captain, Cecil F. Dampier thought that submarines attacked the ship. Hoisted the submarine warning flag, the other members of the unit away from the damaged ship. The ship tilted 10-15 degrees to the left side. The tilt against the side managed to reduce flooding. Morning 09: 45 pm 1-10 degrees of tilt decreased. The ship is still tossed in stormy seas. The right engine room was still operational. The ship was able to nine knots, the captain took the view that the ship will be able to do it in-house 25 miles away from the shore. The central machine room still leaked water, probably due to the longitudinal bulkhead injury. Morning 10 am ordered to leave the central machine room. The right engine room also increased the water was halted there by the machines. 11 hours under water of the central turbine and the left deck in the waves lapped. Liverpool took the side of the light cruiser Audacious until the damaged ship issued a distress signals. Commander in Chief of the Fleet Sir John Jellicoe ordered that all the available traction and destructive to sail out and help. Battleship did not dare to send out for the submarine threat. Meanwhile, on the scene of the White Star Company, ocean liner named Olympic. Captain Dampier ordered the useless part of the crew to leave the ship. Liverpool and they were transported to the Olympic boats. Afternoon 14: 00 only 250 people were left on board. 13: 30-time Olympic commander, Captain Haddock Captain Dampier agreed that Olympic could tow the Audacious is. Lough Swilly started toward the ship. The audacious was uncontrollable, so the tow rope untied. Then Liverpool and coal handling Thornhili tried traction, but without success. 16: 00 when the first deck of 1.2 m above the water, only 30 inches in the rear. 13: 08 pm Mulroy Coast Guard received a message from the steamer Commerce Manchester the day before in the same area of the mine running. 16: 00 at the Malin Head reported that the sailing Cardiff mine also ran the previous night. 17: 00 pm Jellicoe ordered the Exmouth pre-Dreadnaught sail out and start the Audacious towed. In the event that the ship would be saved, he asked an officer from the Department of Construction, due to repairs. Vice-Admiral Sir Lewis Bayly, the first battleship commander unit, Cambria board arrived at the scene, the backup takes over management. The darkness approaching, Bayly, Dampier and the remaining one night 19: 15 to leave the ship. As the rear deck was under water, a boat and the boat broke loose on the deck through sliding caused further damage to the trapdoor in vents, which accelerated the sinking stern. At 20: 45 pm submerged deck to the stern began to sink, he stopped for a while and then eventually overturned. The battleship raised nose hovering 21: 00. Then an explosion occurred 91 feet high shot debris, then two more explosions occurred. The blast apparently occurred near the ammunition depot B, it can be assumed that the shelves caused by falling shells (fired cordite stored nearby, too.). A piece of armor to 730 meters from Liverpool staying on board fell and killed a sergeant. He was the only victim of the sinking ship. Jellicoe immediately ordered the sinking of the ship kept secret. Admiralty agreed with the staff and the Cabinet as well. During the war, continue to bear the name of Audacious fleet maneuvers in public lists. However, many US citizens aboard the Olympic stayed, who were not under British authority and forwarded to the history of the ship. also made a number of photos and photos of the event. On 19 November, Germany has also been able to ship sinking. Rheinhard Sheer, commander of the German fleet, he wrote after the war ". For the audacious one must understand the British people's attitude to not disclose the weaknesses in their as accurate information to the opposite side force of decisive role in decision-making" On 14 November 1918, a few days after the war, appeared in the official announcement of the sinking of The Times: "HMS Audacious. A belated filing. Secretary of the Admiralty makes the following announcement: - HMS Audacious sank after October 27, 1914. I ran mine the Northern Irish coast. This was a secret at the request of the Grand Fleet Commander and the press faithfully stayed publicly disclosed. " Navy, the Royal Commission of Inquiry found that contributed to the sinking of the ship was not ready for combat, the watertight doors were not closed and no emergency personnel. The Audacious capsized wreck lies 39 kilometers from the coast of the Irish Sea deep, 27 kilometers from Tory Island. Thanks for reading!

I really like the Yubari! Pretty good ship, well you can maneuver it fast, the main armament is quite fast reload and of course also has torpedoes. I found that against the enemy destroyers very effective. Starting today, the name of DD killer

Looks like they do not trust the smoke .. (super image)

Yeah, it's a pretty quick fix. ctrl c ctrl v. I wanted to avoid this, but thank you.

Unfortunately, this Hungarian text translated, could not very well, if I have time corrects.

The trauma endured incredible how much of the steel structure. Have been made very good technique, good quality, tough steel. Great picture!

Austro-Hungarian monitor: Lajta

Sorry, there are errors in the translation. Fragment and I can not always be solved well. But I try.

It was fast and modern units, many sorties completed, including also played a role in the Battle of Otranto. Building: The building was Ganz Danubius Rijeka shipyard, the keel laying of January 9, 1912, was done, it was the launching almost a year, on December 30, 1912. A year later, on December 29, 1913, entered service SMS Csepel name, was included in Budapest today, the name of Csepel settlement. The outbreak of war Polak stationed. Missions: -At the end of 1914 shall fish Dampfer XVI. (Baron Gautsch) survivors, first real mission. -On 23 May 1915 the Italian state of war onset of the whole k.u.k. fleet sailed, the mass attack of the Tatra all-class destroyer participated. Csepel port of Manfredonia bombed with the Tatra destroyer. On the way back to the Csepel and Tatra Helgoland cruiser joined. One of them sailed SMS Lika and SMS Orjen. Then they met two Italian destroyer was one of the Turbine. Enclosed the Italians. Then the Tatras and Lika sank the destroyer Turbine. The Csepel is no loss for the fight. -July 22-23 1915 with the Tatra destroyers, Italy's eastern coast bombing of a railway bridge and railway station Chienti. -Took part in the assault Pelagos island on 28 July 1915. The attack took part in Saida, Tatra, Balaton, Lika, SMS Triglav , SMS Orjen. The land landing operation failed, the attackers withdrew. -December 29, 1915, Budapest, Lika, Tatra, Triglav destroyers and cruisers Helgoland took part in the Battle of Durazzo. Penetrating Durazzo port sank two ships, then walked out of the well camouflaged coastal batteries were taken under fire them, but successfully crossed with the exception of Lika, which ran a mine and sank. Triglav also ran mine, but the Csepel and tried to tow it. However, the rope wrapped around the propeller, so he could only half-hearted move, the traction you left off. Then a combined British-Italian convoy came down to the group, so the Triglav sunk. The Chief Engineer of Csepel set maximum vapor pressure of the machinery, the other axis is finally released, tore the tow rope. By the afternoon of 32 knots (approx. 60 km / h) racing boat caught up with the rest of the Austro-Hungarian unit, which has been under constant fire for hours duel fought in the great enemy outnumbered. The evening was come, the convoy commander of a bold and deceptive maneuver slammed his pursuers and headed home safe from the start. In the battle of Csepel also injured several people, including the chief engineer died. -January 1, 1916, SMS Tátra and Csepel Polak sail for overhaul. -May 14-15 1917, took part in the Battle of Otranto. Along with the SMS Balaton sunk an Italian destroyer, two cargo ships and severely damaged the Italian destroyer of Apulia. -December 13-14 1917, Patrolling the Strait of Otranto, along with tha Balaton and Tátra. -In 1918, the coast guard duties, convoy escort His fate after the war The Allied Maritime Commission considered the Italian Navy, who called Muggia staff even took it in 1919.

In any case i'm sure those weren't Italians since Italy never had territories on the other coast until after WWI Ok, more evening look through this document, I found a more credible source but it must be translated from Hungarian to English. But if you feel like you have the time and here is the link: http://www.kriegsmarine.hu/hk/ba00604f.html#1 Deamon93, on 23 December 2014 - 01:53 PM, said: As far as i recall Durazzo was under Serbian controlled at that time(i may be wrong). In any case i'm sure those weren't Italians since Italy never had territories on the other coast until after WWI Helgoland group arrived at a 7:30 pm Durazzo. Additional events include Baron Jordison is a Lieutenant Commander, who led the LIKA bridge of the maneuver: "... After the winter because of the dense fog we saw nothing but we were forced to enter the port indicated by the two Italian destroyer was not there, only one steamers. and a sail boat which was sunk by artillery fire ... ... Meanwhile, well camouflaged fierce fire of coastal batteries got that when we started out, closing a fire were to the place where we went in. Therefore, we had to elaborate a little towards the left. in front of us already CSEPEL leaving behind the suspected minefield. "

In December 1915, the Austro-Hungarian Navy sent another cruiserSquadron into the Adriatic, this time to interfere with the Serbian Campaign. The new light cruiserSMS Helgoland—accompanied by five Tatra-classdestroyers—left Cattaro and headed for Durazzo late on 28 December 1915, with the submarine U-15 and two destroyers already off Durazzo on patrol. While on passage, the Austro-Hungarians sighted the French submarine Monge on patrol to the south of Cattaro. The destroyer SMS Balaton opened fire before ramming and sinking Monge. Early the next day, the Austrian squadron arrived off Durazzo and opened fire on the town, with Helgoland sinking a Greek steamer and two schooners. Then the destroyer Lika ran into a minefield and was sunk, then Triglav was badly damaged by another mine. SMS Csepel attempted to take Triglav in tow, but fouled a propeller, and the job was taken over by Tatra. The crippled Austrian force now returned slowly north. Allied forces in Brindisi were alerted to the Austrian force, and the British sent out the Town-class light cruiser HMS Dartmouth. These were quickly followed by the Italian light cruisers Quatro and Nino Bixio, British destroyer HMS Weymouth and five French destroyers. The Austrians also responded and despatched from Cattaro, the armoured cruiser Kaiser Karl VI, and the light cruiser Novara, to support the returning survivors of the raid, but they did not see action. Early in the afternoon of 29 December, the forward Allied ships came into action with the Austrian squadron which was still only halfway home. The French destroyers headed for the Austrian destroyer Triglav, still under tow, which was abandoned and scuttled off Cape Rondini, after being fired upon by the French destroyer Casque. Meanwhile, the Allied cruisers attempted to cut off and deal with Helgoland and the three remaining destroyers. In a long-range gunnery duel fought throughout the afternoon, Helgoland skillfully avoided the Allied cruisers and reached Cattaro safely but with the loss of the valuable Lika and Triglav. Tatra suffered a damaged engine from several shell hits. Deamon93, on 23 December 2014 - 10:51 AM, said: Durazzo was an Austrian port, not Italian. Italy never controlled Durazzo which is on the other side of the Adriatic. Hello! Cause I believe it, but then who handled batteries on the beach? (A more accurate description is not found.)

She was launched on 11 September 1901 as the second of threeHabsburg-class battleships. Along with her sister ships, she participated at thebombardment of Ancona during World War I. Due to a shortage of coal, she was soon decommissioned after the bombardment of Ancona and used as harbor defense ship for the remainder of the war. After the war, all of the Habsburg-class battleships were ceded to Great Britain as war prizes. She was scrapped in Italy in 1921. Construction and layout Main article: Habsburg-class battleship Árpád was the second of three battleships of her class. Her hull was laid down on 10 June 1899 at the Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino shipyard in Trieste. Following more than two years of construction, she was launched on 11 September 1901. After final fitting-out work was finished, Árpád was fully ready for service and commissioned into the Austro-Hungarian Navy on 15 June 1903. Line-drawing of the Habsburg-class ships; shaded areas show the extent of the armor layout Like all ships of her class, the Árpád was 113.11 m (371 ft) long at the waterline and was 114.55 m (375 ft 10 in) in overall length. She had a beam of 19.8 m (65 ft) and a draft of 7.5 m (24 ft 6 in). Freeboard was approximately 5.8 m (19 ft) forward and about 5.5 m (18 ft) aft. She also displaced 8,364 metric tons (8,232 long tons). Once construction on her had finished and she was commissioned into the Navy, Árpád had a crew of 638 officers and enlisted men. The Árpád was powered by 2-shaft, 4-cylinder vertical triple expansion engines, which were supplied with steam by 16 Belleville boilers. Habsburg '​s power output was rated at 14,307 indicated horsepower (ihp), which produced a top speed of 19.65 knots (36.39 km/h; 22.61 mph). The hull for the ship was constructed from longitudinal and transverse steel frames, over which the outer hull plates were riveted into place. The hull incorporated a double bottomthat ran for 63% of the ship's length. A series of watertight bulkheads also extended from thekeel to the gun deck. All in all, there was a total of 174 watertight compartments in the ship. Habsburg had a metacentric height of between .82 m (2.7 ft) and 1.02 m (3.3 ft).Bilge keels were mounted on either side of the hull to reduce rolling and prevent her from capsizing. Árpád had a flush main deck that was planked with wood, while the upper decks were covered with linoleum or corticine. The Árpád had three 24 cm (9.4 in) L/40 guns, two mounted in a twin turret forward and one mounted in a single turret aft of the main superstructure. The C 97-type guns were manufactured by Krupp in Germany. The main guns fired at a rate of between three to four 215 kg (474 lb) armor-piercing (AP) shells per minute. Her secondary armament consisted of twelve 15 cm (5.9 inch) SK L/40 guns in casemates. These guns could fire at 4–5 shells per minute. She was built with face-hardened chrome-nickel steel. The mainarmored belt was 220 mm (8.7 in) in the central portion of the ship, where the ammunition magazines, machinery spaces, and other critical areas were located. The belt tapered slightly to 180 mm (7.1 in) on either end of the central section. Service history Peacetime Árpád took part in her first fleet maneuvers in mid-1903 with her sistership Habsburg. The third sister, Babenberg, was commissioned in Summer 1904, and participated in successive fleet drills. Following a series of simulated war games pitting the Árpád and her sister ships against the three Monarch-class battleships, the Árpád and the other two Habsburg-class ships became the I Battleship Division. This new division was active in the Mediterranean region. When the Habsburg underwent a training cruise with the three Monarch-class battleships in January 1903,Árpád joined her the next year in a voyage around the Mediterranean Sea. With the commissioning of the Erzherzog Karl-class battleships in 1906 and 1907, the Habsburg-class ships were transferred from the I to the II Battleship Division, and the three Monarch-class battleships were moved from the II to the III Battleship Division. In 1910–1911, the Árpád had one of her superstructure decks removed to reduce weight. World War I Early in World War I, Árpád was transferred to the Austro-Hungarian Navy's IV Division after the first new Tegetthoff-class battleships came into service. At around the same time, Árpád, her sister ships Habsburg and Babenberg and the remainder of the Austro-Hungarian Navy were mobilized to support the flight of SMS Goeben and Breslau from 28 July to 10 August 1914. The two German ships were stationed in the Mediterranean and were attempting to break out of the strait of Messina, which was surrounded by British vessels. After breaking out, the German ships planned to steam to Turkey. After the Germans successfully broke out of Messina, the Austro-Hungarian Navy was recalled. The fleet had by that time advanced as far south as Brindisi in southeastern coast of Italy. After Italy entered the war on the side of France and Great Britain, the Austro-Hungarian Navy bombarded several Italian port cities along the Adriatic coast. Árpád took part in the Bombardment of Ancona on 23 May 1915. Due to a coal shortage, Árpád was later decommissioned and re-purposed as a harbor defense ship for the latter half of the war. Árpád '​s crew was transferred to man the new U-boats and aircraft. Following the war, the Árpád, along with her sister ships, were awarded to Great Britain as war prizes. They were sold to Italy and broken up for scrap in 1921.

Kriegsmarine), named for the Zrinski, a noble Croatian family. Zrínyi and her sisters, Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand and Radetzky, were the last pre-dreadnoughts built by the Austro-Hungarian Navy. During World War I, Zrínyi saw action in the Adriatic Sea. She served with the Second Division of the Austro-Hungarian Navy's battleships and shelled Senigallia as part of the bombardment of the key seaport of Ancona, Italy, during May 1915. However, Allied control of the Strait of Otranto meant that the Austro-Hungarian Navy was, for all intents and purposes, effectively bottled up in the Adriatic. Nonetheless, the presence of the Zrínyi and other battleships tied down a substantial force of Allied ships. With the war going against the Austrians by the end of 1918, Zrínyi was prepared to be transferred to the new State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs. On 10 November 1918—just one day before the end of the war, navy officers sailed the battleship out of Pola (Pula) and eventually surrendered to a squadron of American submarine chasers. Following the handover to the United States Navy, she was briefly designated USS Zrínyi. In the Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, the transfer was not recognized; instead, Zrínyi was given to Italy and broken up for scrap. Design and construction Main article: Radetzky-class battleship Zrínyi was built at the Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino dockyard in Trieste, the same place where her sister ships were built earlier. She was laid down on 15 November 1908 andlaunched from the slipway on 12 April 1910. The teak used on Zrínyi '​s deck was the only material Austria-Hungary had to purchase abroad to build the ship. The ship was completed by 15 July 1911, and on 22 November 1911 she was commissioned into the fleet. She was the last ship of the class to be completed and had a crew of 880 to 890 officers and men. Plan of SMS Radetzky, a sister ship of the SMS Zrínyi Zrínyi was 138.8 m (455 ft 4 in) long, and had abeam of 24.6 m (80 ft 8 in) and a draft of 8.1 m (26 ft 9 in). She displaced 14,508 long tons (14,741 t) normally, and up to 15,845 long tons (16,099 t) with a full combat load. She was powered by two-shaft four-cylinder vertical triple expansion engines rated at 19,800 indicated horsepower. The ship had a top speed of 20.5 knots (38.0 km/h; 23.6 mph). Zrínyi was the first warship in the Austro-Hungarian Navy to use fuel oil to supplement her 12 Yarrow-type coal-fired boilers. She had a maximum range of 4,000 nautical miles (7,400 km; 4,600 mi) at a cruising speed of 10 knots (19 km/h; 12 mph). The ship's primary armament consisted of four 30.5 cm (12 in) 45-caliber guns in two twingun turrets. This was augmented by a heavy secondary battery of eight 24 cm (9.4 in) guns in four wing turrets.[2] The tertiary battery consisted of twenty 10 cm L/50 guns incasemated single mounts, four 47 mm (1.85 in) L/44 and one 47 mm L/33 quick-firing guns. Furthermore, the ship's boats were equipped with two 66 mm (2.6 in) landing guns for operations shore. Three 45 cm (17.7 in) torpedo tubes were also carried, one on eachbroadside and one in the stern. Service history The ship was assigned to the Austro-Hungarian Fleet's 1st Battle Squadron after her 1911 commissioning. In 1912, Zrínyi and her two sister ships conducted two training cruises into the eastern Mediterranean Sea. On the second cruise into the Aegean Sea, conducted from November to December, Zrínyi and her sister ships were accompanied by the cruiser SMS Admiral Spaun and a pair of destroyers. After returning to Pola, the entire fleet mobilized for possible hostilities, as tensions flared in the Balkans. In 1913, Zrínyi participated in an international naval demonstration in the Ionian Sea to protest the Balkan Wars. Ships from other navies included in the demonstration were the British pre-dreadnought HMS King Edward VII, the Italian pre-dreadnought Ammiraglio di Saint Bon, the French armored cruiser Edgar Quinet, and the German light cruiser SMS Breslau. The most important action of the combined flotilla, which was under the command of British Admiral Cecil Burney, was to blockade the Montenegrin coast. The goal of the blockade was to prevent Serbianreinforcements from supporting the siege at Scutari, where Montenegro had besieged a combined force of Albanians and Ottomans. Pressured by the international blockade, Serbia withdrew its army from Scutari, which was subsequently occupied by a joint Allied ground force. During that year, the first of four new dreadnoughts, SMS Viribus Unitis, that made up the Tegetthoff class—the only dreadnoughts built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy—came into active service. With the commissioning of these dreadnoughts, Zrínyi and her sisters were moved from the 1st Division to the 2nd Division of the 1st Battle Squadron. World War I At that time of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on 28 June 1914, the battleships in the Austro-Hungarian Navy consisted of the Radetzky class, the Tegetthoff class (which still had one ship, SMS Szent István, under construction), the Erzherzog Karl classand finally, the older Habsburg class. Along with the remainder of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, Zrínyi was mobilized in late July 1914 to support the flight of SMS Goeben and SMS Breslau. The two German ships broke out of Messina, which was surrounded by the British navy and reached Turkey. The flotilla had advanced as far south as Brindisi in southeastern Italy when news of the successful breakout reached Vienna. The Austro-Hungarian ships were then recalled before seeing action. On 23 May 1915, between two and four hours after news of the Italian declaration of war reached the main Austro-Hungarian naval base at Pola, Zrínyi and the rest of the fleet departed to bombard the Italian and Montenegrin coast. Their focus was on the important naval base at Ancona, and later the coast of Montenegro. The bombardment of Montenegro was part of the larger Austro-Hungarian campaign against the Kingdoms of Montenegro and Serbia, who were members of the Entente, during the first half of 1915. The attack on Ancona was an immense success, and the ships were unopposed during the operation. The bombardment of the province and the surrounding area resulted in the destruction of an Italian steamer in the port of Ancona itself, and an Italian destroyer, Turbine, was severely damaged further south. On the shore, the infrastructure of the port of Ancona, as well as the surrounding towns, were severely damaged. The railroad yard in Ancona, as well as the port facilities in the town, were damaged or destroyed. The local shore batteries were also suppressed. During the bombardment,Zrínyi also helped to destroy a train, a railway station, and a bridge at Senigallia. Additional targets that were damaged or destroyed includedwharves, warehouses, oil tanks, radio stations, and the local barracks. Sixty-three Italians, both civilians and military personnel, were killed in the bombardment. By the time Italian ships from Taranto and Brindisi arrived on the scene, the Austro-Hungarians were safely back in Pola. The objective of the bombardment of Ancona was to delay the Italian Army from deploying its forces along the border with Austria-Hungary by destroying critical transportation systems. The surprise attack on Ancona succeeded in delaying the Italian deployment to the Alps for two weeks. This delay gave Austria-Hungary valuable time to strengthen its Italian border and re-deploy some of its troops from the Eastern and Balkan fronts. Aside from the attack on Ancona, the Austro-Hungarian battleships were largely confined to Pola for the duration of the war. Their operations were limited by Admiral Anton Haus, the commander of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, who believed that he would need to husband his ships to counter any Italian attempt to seize the Dalmatian coast. Since coal was diverted to the newer Tegetthoff-class battleships, the remainder of the war saw Zrínyi and the rest of the Austro-Hungarian Navy acting as a fleet in being. This resulted in the Allied blockade of theOtranto Strait. With his fleet blockaded in the Adriatic Sea, and with a shortage of coal, Haus followed a strategy based on mines and submarines designed to reduce the numerical superiority of the Allied navies. Post-war fate After the Austro-Hungarian Empire collapsed in 1918, the Austrians wanted to turn the fleet over to the newly created State of Slovenes, Croats and Serbs (later to become a part of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia) in order to prevent the Italians from claiming the ships as spoils of war. However, the victorious Allies refused to acknowledge the conversations between the Austrians and the south Slavs and, in due course, reallocated the ships. The ship had been boarded by a scratch Yugoslav crew on 10 November 1918, one day before the Armistice, and had left Pola with her sister ship, Radetzky. They were soon spotted by heavy Italian ships, so the two battleships hoisted American flags and sailed south along the Adriatic coast to Castelli Bay near Spalato (also known as Split). They appealed for American naval forces to meet them and accept their surrender, which a squadron of United States Navy (USN) submarine chasers in the area did. She had apparently been turned over to the fledgling south Slav state, as it was a Croat naval officer, Korvettenkapitän Marijan Polić, who presented the ship as a prize of war to representatives of the United States Navy on the afternoon of 22 November 1919 at Spalato (Split) in Dalmatia. Simultaneously she was commissioned as USS Zrínyi and Lieutenant E.E. Hazlett, USN, assumed command. The initial American complement consisted of four officers and 174 enlisted men—the latter entirely composed of United States Navy Reserve Force personnel. The ship remained at anchor at Spalato for nearly a year while the negotiations that would determine her ultimate fate dragged on. Only once did she apparently turn her engines over, and that occurred during a severe gale that struck Spalato on 9 February 1920. On the morning of 7 November 1920, Zrínyi was decommissioned. USS Chattanooga took her in tow and, assisted by Brooks and Hovey, towed the battleship to Italy. Under the terms of the treaties of Versailles and St. Germain, Zrínyi was ultimately turned over to the Italian government atVenice. She was broken up for scrap later that year and into 1921.
