Austro-Hungarian Navy
The Austro-Hungarian Navy or Imperial and Royal War Navy (german: kaiserliche und königliche Kriegsmarine, in short ''k.u.k. Kriegsmarine'', hu, Császári és Királyi Haditengerészet) was the naval force of Austria-Hungary. Ships of the Austro-Hungarian Navy were designated ''SMS'', for ''Seiner Majestät Schiff'' (His Majesty's Ship). The k.u.k. Kriegsmarine came into being after the formation of Austria-Hungary in 1867, and ceased to exist in 1918 upon the Empire's defeat and subsequent collapse at the end of World War I. Prior to 1867, the Imperial Austrian Navy or simply the Austrian Navy, saw action in the French Revolutionary Wars, the Napoleonic Wars, the Austrian expedition against Morocco (1829), the Second Egyptian–Ottoman War, the First and Second Wars of Italian Independence, the Second Schleswig War, and the Third War of Italian Independence. Following Austria's defeat by Prussia and Italy during the Seven Weeks' War, the Austrian Empire reformed itself i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Yugoslav Torpedo Boat T5
The Yugoslav torpedo boat ''T5'' was a sea-going torpedo boat operated by the Royal Yugoslav Navy between 1921 and 1941. Originally ''87 F'', a 250t-class torpedo boat of the Austro-Hungarian Navy built in 1914–1915, she was armed with two guns and four torpedo tubes, and could carry 10–12 naval mines. She saw active service during World War I, performing convoy, patrol, escort and minesweeping tasks, anti-submarine operations and shore bombardment missions. Following Austria-Hungary's defeat in 1918, ''87 F'' was allocated to the Navy of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which became the Royal Yugoslav Navy, and was renamed ''T5''. At the time, she and the seven other 250t-class boats were the only modern sea-going vessels of the fledgling maritime force. During the interwar period, ''T5'' and the rest of the navy were involved in exercises of training and cruises to friendly ports, but activity was limited by reduced naval budgets. The ship was captured by the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
U-7 Class Submarine (Austria-Hungary)
The Type U 66 was a class of five submarines or U-boats operated by the German Imperial Navy (german: Kaiserliche Marine) during World War I. The class is alternately referred to as the ''U-66''-class or the Type UD. The class was built by Germaniawerft of Kiel to their 506d design as the ''U-7''-class for the Austro-Hungarian Navy. The five boats were sold to the Imperial Germany Navy at the beginning of World War I when it was thought impossible for the submarines to reach the Mediterranean for delivery to Austria-Hungary. The Austro-Hungarian Navy, after competitively evaluating six submarines of three foreign designs, selected the Germaniwerft 506d or Type UD design over a design from Whitehead & Co. for the ''U-7'' class. The boats, numbered ''U-7'' to ''U-11'', were designed to be long and displace between when surfaced and submerged. They were to be armed with five torpedo tubes and a deck gun. For propulsion the design called for twin diesel engines for surface r ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
U-5 Class Submarine (Austria-Hungary)
The ''U-5'' class was a ship class, class of three submarines or U-boats that were operated by the Austro-Hungarian Navy (german: Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine or ''K.u.K. Kriegsmarine'') before and during World War I. The class was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Navy's efforts to competitively evaluate three foreign submarine designs. The design of the boats was based upon John Philip Holland's submarine design and featured a single, teardrop hull, which resembled the design of modern nuclear submarines.Sieche, p. 21. The class members were just over long and displacement (ship), displaced surfaced and submerged. All were originally equipped with two bow torpedo tubes and could carry four torpedoes. The first two boats, ''U-5'' and ''U-6'', built specifically for the Austro-Hungarian Navy, to the same design as the United States C-class submarine were partially constructed in the United States and completed at Whitehead & Co. at Rijeka, Fiume. The third was complete ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
U-3 Class Submarine (Austria-Hungary)
The ''U-3'' class was a class of two submarines or U-boats built for and operated by the Austro-Hungarian Navy (german: Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine or ). The ''U-3''-class boats were designed and built by Germaniawerft of Kiel, Germany. The class was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Navy's efforts to competitively evaluate three foreign submarine designs. The two ''U-3''-class boats, both launched in 1908, were just under long and were each powered by two kerosene two-stroke engines while surfaced, and two electric motors when submerged. The ''U-3'' class initially had diving problems that were alleviated after several modifications to fins and diving planes. Both boats of the class served in combat during World War I. , the lead boat of the class, was sunk by gunfire in August 1915. was the longest-serving Austro-Hungarian submarine and sank and 7,345 tons of ships, including the Italian armored cruiser ''Giuseppe Garibaldi'' in July 1915. ''U-4'' was handed over t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
U-1 Class Submarine (Austria-Hungary)
The ''U-1'' class (also called the Lake-type) was a class of two submarines or U-boats built for and operated by the Austro-Hungarian Navy (german: kaiserliche und königliche Kriegsmarine). The class comprised and . The boats were built to an American design at the Pola Navy Yard after domestic design proposals failed to impress the Navy. Constructed between 1907 and 1909, the class was a part of the Austro-Hungarian Navy's efforts to competitively evaluate three foreign submarine designs. Both ''U-1''-class submarines were launched in 1909. An experimental design, the submarines included unique features such as a diving chamber and wheels for traveling along the seabed. Extensive sea trials were conducted in 1909 and 1910 to test these features as well as other components of the boats, including the diving tanks and engines for each boat. Safety and efficiency problems related to the gasoline engines of both submarines led the Navy to purchase new propulsion systems prior t ...
