List Of Austro-Hungarian U-boats
The Austro-Hungarian Navy ('' Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine'', shortened to k.u.k. Kriegsmarine) built a series of U-boats between 1907 and 1918 to defend its coastline and project naval power into the Adriatic and Mediterranean Seas in wartime. With the establishment of the Austrian Naval League in September 1904 and the appointment of Vice-Admiral Rudolf Montecuccoli to the post of Chief of the Naval Section of the War Ministry in October that same year, the k.u.k. Kriegsmarine began a program of naval expansion befitting a Great Power. Montecuccoli immediately pursued the efforts championed by his predecessor, Admiral Hermann von Spaun, and pushed to greatly expand and modernize the Austro-Hungarian Navy. By the spring of 1905, Montecuccoli envisioned a modern Austrian fleet of 12 battleships, four armoured cruisers, eight scout cruisers, 18 destroyers, 36 high seas torpedo craft, and six submarines. The Austro-Hungarian U-boat fleet during the First World War mainly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
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] |
Arabic Numerals
Arabic numerals are the ten numerical digits: , , , , , , , , and . They are the most commonly used symbols to write Decimal, decimal numbers. They are also used for writing numbers in other systems such as octal, and for writing identifiers such as computer symbols, trademarks, or license plates. The term often implies a decimal number, in particular when contrasted with Roman numerals. They are also called Western Arabic numerals, Ghubār numerals, Hindu-Arabic numerals, Western digits, Latin digits, or European digits. The ''Oxford English Dictionary'' differentiates them with the fully capitalized ''Arabic Numerals'' to refer to the Eastern Arabic numerals, Eastern digits. The term numbers or numerals or digits often implies only these symbols, however this can only be inferred from context. It was in the Algerian city of Béjaïa that the Italian people, Italian scholar Fibonacci first encountered the numerals; his work was crucial in making them known throughout Europe. ...

U-10 Class Submarine
The ''U-10'' class was a class of five submarines or U-boats of the Austro-Hungarian Navy (german: Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine or ) during World War I. The class was similar to the German Type UB I submarine of the German Imperial Navy (german: Kaiserliche Marine); the first two boats delivered to Austria-Hungary had previously been commissioned in the German Navy. The ''U-10'' class as a whole did not have much wartime success, two of the boats sinking no ships. Only one boat, sank more than 1,000 combined tonnage of enemy ships. Of the five submarines of the class, only was sunk during the war; the remaining four were delivered as war reparations and broken up by 1920. Background The Austro-Hungarian Navy's U-boat fleet at the beginning of World War I consisted of six largely experimental submarines, two of which were not operational.Gardiner, p. 341. and were in drydock awaiting diesel engines to replace their inadequate gasoline engines.

SM U-10 (Austria-Hungary)
SM ''U-10'' or ''U-X'' was the lead boat of the ''U-10'' class of submarines for the Austro-Hungarian Navy (german: Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine or ) during World War I. She was originally a German Type UB I submarine commissioned into the German Imperial Navy (german: Kaiserliche Marine) as SM ''UB-1''. SM ''UB-1'' was constructed in Germany and shipped by rail to Pola where she was assembled and launched in January 1915. She was commissioned into the German Imperial Navy later that same month and sank an Italian torpedo boat in June. The boat was handed over to Austria-Hungary and commissioned as SM ''U-10'' in July. In May 1917, ''U-10'' was fired upon by a British submarine, but both of the torpedoes that were launched missed. In July 1918, ''U-10'' hit a mine and was beached with heavy damage. She was towed to Trieste for repairs which remained unfinished at the war's end. ''U-10'' was handed over to Italy as a war reparation and scrapped in 1920. Design ...

SM U-6 (Austria-Hungary)
SM ''U-6'' or ''U-VI'' was a ''U-5''-class submarine or U-boat built for and operated by the Austro-Hungarian Navy (german: Kaiserliche und Königliche Kriegsmarine or ) before and during the First World War. The submarine was built as part of a plan to evaluate foreign submarine designs, and was the second of three boats of the class built by Whitehead & Co. of Fiume after a design by Irishman John Philip Holland. ''U-6'' was laid down in February 1908 and launched in June 1909. The double- hulled submarine was just over long and displaced between , depending on whether surfaced or submerged. ''U-6''s design had inadequate ventilation and exhaust from her twin gasoline engines often intoxicated the crew. The boat was commissioned into the Austro-Hungarian Navy in July 1910, and served as a training boat—sometimes making as many as ten cruises a month—through the beginning of the First World War in 1914. The submarine had only one wartime success, which was sinking a Fr ... [...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] |
