Austro-Hungarian Navy
This little Adriatic based Fleet is not to widely known. Given that they lost 2 of their 4 dreadnoughts with nothing to show for it, hhmmm??
Here are the dreadnoughts... They were the first triple gunned main turret BBs. 12-12" was a powerful main weapons fit when they were designed, but was soon surpassed by other nations' battleships. DFO
