TFA blurb review

[edit]
One of T1's sister ships, T3

T1 was a seagoing torpedo boat that was operational between 1914 and 1955. She was built as 76 T for the Austro-Hungarian Navy, and armed with two 66 mm (2.6 in) guns and four 450 mm (17.7 in) torpedo tubes, and could carry 10–12 naval mines. During World War I she performed convoy, escort and minesweeping tasks, anti-submarine operations and shore bombardment missions. Following Austria-Hungary's defeat in 1918 she and seven other 250t-class boats were allocated to the Royal Yugoslav Navy, its only modern sea-going vessels. Renamed T1 the ship was involved in training exercise and cruises. She was captured by the Italians during the Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941 and served with the Royal Italian Navy. Following the Italian capitulation in September 1943, she was returned to the Yugoslav Navy. After World War II she was refitted and served as Golešnica until 1955. She was sunk as a target ship in the Bay of Kotor, and is now a recreational dive site. (Full article...)

Thanks, Gog the Mild. I am actually waiting for a new book to ensure this is fully comprehensive per current sources, so would prefer not to run it until the book arrives and I have some times to add any new material. Cheers, Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 11:03, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Assuming the book isn’t on the slow boat from Croatia, should be ok. Peacemaker67 (click to talk to me) 12
