Historical context: SMS Viribus Unitis

SMS Viribus Unitis was the first dreadnought-type unit built for the Austro-Hungarian Imperial and Royal Navy. The ship entered service in 1912 as the fleet’s flagship. It took part in naval operations in the Adriatic during World War I, and its dramatic story ended with its sinking by Italian combat divers-saboteurs in November 1918 in the port of Pola. This battleship symbolizes the modernization aspirations of the Austro-Hungarian Navy before and during the Great War.
