SMS Tegetthoff (1878)
From SpottingWorld, the Hub for the SpottingWorld network...
SMS Tegetthoff was a center-battery ironclad warship of the Austro-Hungarian navy. The ship was laid down in 1876, launched in 1878, and commissioned into the Austro-Hungarian fleet in 1881. Tegetthoff's career was rather limited; after 1897 she was used as a guard ship in Pola. In 1912 she was renamed Mars, so that her original name could be used on a new battleship. Following the end of World War I, the ship was surrendered to Italy, where she was broken up by 1920.[1]
