Austro-Hungarian Navy Deployment, 1914 Contributed by Doug Thompson (doug_thompson@adg.ardemgaz.com), with his own comments interspersed throughout.

Just about every sea-going fighting ship in the Austria-Hungarian navy at the outbreak of the First World War in August, 1914. (Note that this does not include the formidable Danube flotilla.) Source: Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships, 1906-1921 Dreadnoughts (BB) Viribus Unitis Tegetthoff Prinz Eugen (Commissioned July 17, 1914. In a naval wargame, this ship should not be used. If you are naughty disregard this warning, the Entente player should insist that the ship's gunnery and damage control be severely discounted.) Pre-Dreadnoughts Erzherzog Franz Ferdinand Radetzky Zrinyi Erzherzog Karl Erzherzog Friedrich Erzherzog Ferdinand Max Habsburg Arpad Barenberg Coastal Defense Ships Monarch Wien Budapest (I believe all three of these ships were manned by reservists, and should also be handicapped in their gunnery and damage control in a wargame.) Kronprinz Erzherzog Rudolf (Guard ship that never left Cattaro Bay in 1914.) Armoured Cruisers (AC) Kaiser Karl VI Sankt Georg Kaiserin and Konigin Maria Theresa (Guard ship: Never left Sebenico, a port known nowadays as Sibenik, in 1914.) Protected Cruisers and Light Cruisers (CL) Kaiserin Elisabeth (This one was on station in China. It never made it home) Kaiser Franz Joseph I Admiral Spaun Zenta Aspern Szigetvar Torpedo Cruiser (rudely lumped into the flotilla leader category, or FL) Sebenico (Guardship as Sebenico, quite appropriately. Never left the bay in 1914.) Destroyers (DD) Tatra Balaton Csepel Lina Triglav Orjen Warasdiner (Very new, and very probably still in dockyard hands while being rearmed.) Ulan (Huszar Class- original Huszar wrecked on Dec. 3, 1908.)

Streiter Wildfang Scharfschutze Uskoke Huszar (replacement for original) Turul Pandur Csikos Reka Dinara Velebit Blitz Komet Planet Trabant Satellit Magnet Meteor Torpedo boats (TB) (I used a cut-off date: if the ship was launched six months before August, 1914, it's included) Tb 74 T through Tb 77 T Tb 50 E Tb 51 T through Tb 63 T Tb 64 F through Tb 73 F Tb 17 Tb 18 (This one was never operational. It suffered severe vibrations at speed.) Tb 13, Tb 14 (aircraft salvage vessel), Tb 15 and Tb 16 (These four were all used as convoy escorts and mine sweepers, except as noted) Coastal Torpedo Boats (TB/C) Tb 1 through Tb 6 Tb 7 through Tb 12 Submarines (SS) U1 (Training only) U2 (ditto) U3 U4 U5 U6 Minelayer (ML) Chamaeleon
