SMS ''Admiral Spaun'' was a unique light cruiser of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. Three other ships were built to similar specifications as ''Admiral Spaun'', but with different propulsion, and increased armament. ==Overview== Around the turn of 20th century major navies had started to build fast scout cruisers (like the British or the Italian , 1909-11). Design of the new Austro-Hungarian ship started in 1906 and it was commissioned in 1910. The ship displaced 3,500 tons and was turbine driven with light belt armour. Wartime experience showed the guns were inferior but the plans to re-equip the ship were turned down because of war troubles. In 1915 number of torpedo firing tubes was increased to 8. ''Admiral Spaun'' saw active service during First World War. After the war the ship was transferred by Italy to Venice and participated in the Italian V-Day fleet parade on 25 March 1919. Later, it was given to the Great Britain as a part of reparations and sold to an Italian company for scrapping in 1922. 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「SMS Admiral Spaun」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
