The second sinking occurred on October 30, 1918, then Horthy was ordered to surrender the entire Austrian fleet to the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (Yugoslavia). SMS Viribus Unitis was renamed Jugoslavija

This is doubtful since name Jugoslavia was used much latter, at the and of WWI there was no Yugoslavia --Tmilovan 09:52, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

and the Austrian ensign was replaced with the Serbian flag.

This also makes no sense, all available texts that I was able to get (and I am from Pula) are stating that the flag was Croatian --Tmilovan 09:52, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Ship was given to the newly formed National Council of Slovenes Croats and Serbs wich was still formally part of the Monarchy. The Kingdom SHS was created on December 1st. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.198.84.120 (talk) 22:02, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regia Marina (Italian Naval Command) was not willing to accept the substitution of one naval threat for another and sent in Italian divers who planted an underwater mine. The explosion went off under the ship on November 1 (just after the Austro-Hungarian government collapsed) and the Yugoslavians made no efforts to restore the hulk.

According to Cyril Fall's "The Great War," the two Italian officers who rode a torpedo into harbor in order to destroy the Viribus Unitis did not know that Austria had surrendered its fleet, and when they were informed of this fact, they told the Yugoslavian naval council what they had done.

Comparison of Italian and Japanese effort in Anti Submarine Warfare in the Mediterrenean: I resisted the temptation to simply delete the opinion of Cyril Fall about "very active" Japanese and "languid and apathetic" Italians. I just listed the Austrian submarines killed by both: 6 by Italians +1 together with French - none by Japanese.

Outcome[edit]

If the allies won the war and the Central Powers surrendered, why is the Mediterranean Campaign considered inconclusive? It says at the very beginning of the Austro-Hungarian Navy article that as result of the war the Austrians surrendered their fleet and the empire had no coast or ports left and therefore had no need for a navy. If I understood that, I'd say the Austro-Hungarians were completely defeated in the Mediterranean Campaign. I will change the outcome to Allied victory, if anyone has a problem, change the result back but first leave an explanation here. Thank you.--$1LENCE D00600D (talk) 10:06, 19 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccuracies[edit]

This article is very badly written, very inaccurate, and not at all academic. 81.131.212.88 (talk) 19:38, 18 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
