Austria say good bye to her Navy

Austria is no longer a navy superpower since the end of the WW1 but still got 2 patrol craft in his navy that patrol the Danube. On the november 16th, she will no have any more a navy, she will give all her ships (Oberst Brecht and Niederösterreic) to a museum.

Well to be honest as she is allied with germany i dont think austria realy needs a navy.

The surprising news is that a country without access to the sea since 1818 still have something called Navy; a river patrol force seems mostly a police thing.

Looking for the dismantling of Kuwaitian skiing troops too.

During the cold war at least 300 russian ship where anchor along the uastian border, most of them were spying ships. The 2 patrol boat jsut maintain a police because of the heavy traffic due to the russian ships!

Why would Austria have a navy? Do they sail their ships in the mountains or something? Last time i checked on a map, they were a landlocked country.:hmm:

Switzerland has a navy!! A couple of patrol boats on lake Geneva. They did win the America's Cup off New Zealand (most of the crew were from other nations, included New Zealand!)
