It does seem incongruous to us now to think that Austria (Austria-Hungary) had a U-Boat fleet. This thread has helped renew my interest in that part of Europe in those far off times, when they had a coastline along the Adriatic Sea with the annexation of Bosnia-Herzegovina.

Maybe they will have a coastline again, one day. Be it politically, or climate-wise..
They had quite a big High-Seas fleet, and as i read also lots of flat-going monitors and cannon boats for the Danube river.
Venice has belonged to Austria two times in history, and before that Crete and Cyprus belonged to Venice.. the latter has also attacked Austria several times.
"an area belonging to ..." is a very momentary term, over the centuries.

I very much doubt Austria will ever rise to the prominence it once enjoyed.

Forever living in the shadow of Germany one could say.

I have no idea (not having read it) if this is a good book, but if you (or anyone else) is interested in Austro-Hungarian subs I did find a novel set on one. Reviews look good: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/...lor_of_Austria
