The Yugoslav torpedo boat T1 was a sea-going vessel operated by the Royal Yugoslav
Navy between 1921 and 1941. Launched on 15 December 1913 as a 250t-class torpedo boatfor
the Austro-Hungarian Navy under the name 76 T, she was armed with two 66 mm (2.6 in) guns
and four 450 mm (17.7 in) torpedo tubes, and could carry 1012 naval mines. The vessel
performed anti-submarine operations and convoy, escort and minesweeping tasks during World
War I. She was escorting the dreadnought SMS Szent Istvn when that ship was sunk
by Italian torpedo boats in June 1918. Following Austria-Hungary's defeat, the torpedo boat was
allocated to what became the Royal Yugoslav Navy. During the German-led Axisinvasion of
Yugoslavia in April 1941, the vessel was captured by the Italians. She served with the Royal Italian
Navy, but was returned to the Royal Yugoslav Navy-in-exile following the Italian capitulation in
September 1943. She was commissioned by the Yugoslav Navy after World War II and, after a
refit, served as Golenica until 1959. (Full article...)
