SMS Zrinyi |
 | | SMS Zrinyi was a Radetzky-class pre-dreadnought battleship[?] (Schlachtschiff) of the Austro-Hungarian[?] Navy (K.u.K. Kriegsmarine), named for a noble Hungarian family of Croatian origin. |
 | | During World War I, Zrinyi served with the Second Division of the Austro-Hungarian Navy's battleships and took part in the bombardment of the key seaport of Ancona, Italy, on May 24, 1915. |
 | | Zrinyi had apparently been turned over to the Yugoslavs, as it was a Yugoslavian naval officer, Korvettenkapitän Marijan Polic who turned over the ship to representatives of the United States Navy at Spalato, Dalmatia[?], on the afternoon of November 22, 1919. |
