Restored Museum Ship, Temes Class River Monitor Sava (Ex SMS Bodrog) pictured on the Sava River, Belgrade on November 10th 2021. She fired the first shots of World War I just after 01:00 on July 29th 1914, when she and two other Monitors shelled Serbian defences near Belgrade. She was part of the Danube Flotilla, and fought the Serbian and Romanian armies from Belgrade to the mouth of the Danube. In the closing stages of the war, she was the last Monitor to withdraw towards Budapest, but was captured by the Serbs when she grounded on a sandbank downstream from Belgrade. After the war, she was transferred to the newly created Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia), and renamed Sava. She remained in service throughout the interwar period, although budget restrictions meant she was not always in full commission.
