The Austro-Hungarian Navy was the naval force of Austria-Hungary. Its official name in German was ''kaiserliche und königliche Kriegsmarine'' (Imperial and Royal War Navy), abbreviated as ''k.u.k. Kriegsmarine''. This navy existed under this name after the formation of the Dual Monarchy in 1867 and continued in service until the end of the First World War in 1918. Prior to 1867, the empire's naval forces were those of the Austrian Empire. By 1915 a total of 33,735 naval personnel served in the k.u.k. Kriegsmarine. After the First World War, both Austria and Hungary were deprived of their coasts, and their navy was confiscated by the victorious Allied powers. Their former ports on the Adriatic Sea, such as Trieste, Pola, Fiume, and Ragusa, became parts of Italy and Yugoslavia. (After the break-up of Yugoslavia, its former coast is divided between Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro.) Ships of the k.u.k. Kriegsmarine were designated ''SMS'', for ''Seiner Majestät Schiff'' (His Majesty's Ship). == History == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Austro-Hungarian Navy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
