Tátra

By the end of the first decade of the 20th century, the destroyers that were in active service in the Austro-Hungarian Navy had become outdated. Accordingly, the Navy's leaders ordered six modern destroyers that would not be inferior to their foreign counterparts. Several shipbuilding firms participated in the competition to design the destroyers, but preference was given to the Hungarian plant Ganz-Danubius. The resulting ship began her operational duty with a skirmish near Vieste in 1915, where Tátra, backed by her sister ship Lika, sank Italian destroyer Turbine. Later, the destroyer participated in the first Battle of Durazzo and in a raid on a dam in Otranto. After World War I, the ship was transferred to the Italian Navy and renamed Fasana.
