Editing Tegetthoff-class battleship (section)

=== Legacy ===
After the war, ''MAS-15'' was installed in the [[Monument to Vittorio Emanuele II]] as part of the ''[[Museum of the Risorgimento (Rome)|Museo del Risorgimento]]'' in Rome for the torpedo boat's role in the sinking of ''Szent István''. The anniversary of the sinking, 10 June, has been celebrated by the ''Regia Marina'', and its successor, the ''[[Marina Militare]]'', as the official Italian [[Navy Day]] ({{langx|it|Festa della Marina}}).{{sfn|Sieche|1991|p=131}} After ''Tegetthoff'' was dismantled, one of her anchors was placed on display at the [[:it:Monumento al Marinaio d'Italia|Monument to Italian Sailors]] at Brindisi, where it can still be found.<ref>{{cite web |title=Monuments – Italian Sailor Monument (The "Big Rudder") |url=http://www.brindisiweb.it/monumenti/sailor_monument.asp |website=brindisiweb.it |publisher=Brindisiweb |access-date=2 July 2018}}</ref>

Following the ''[[Anschluss]]'' of [[Federal State of Austria|Austria]] into [[Nazi Germany]] on 12 March 1938, [[Adolf Hitler]] used Austria-Hungary's naval history to appeal to the Austrian public and obtain their support. Having lived in Vienna during the development of much of the Austro-Hungarian Navy, Hitler decided upon an "Austrian" sounding name for a German cruiser which was being constructed at [[Kiel]].{{sfn|Sondhaus|1994|p=363}} The cruiser was originally to be named ''Tegetthoff'' after Wilhelm von Tegetthoff, although concerns over the possible insult to Italy and [[Benito Mussolini]] of naming the cruiser after the Austrian victor of the Battle of Lissa, led the ''[[Kriegsmarine]]'' to adopt {{ship|German cruiser|Prinz Eugen||2}} as the ship's namesake, after the Austrian general [[Prince Eugene of Savoy]].{{sfn|Schmalenbach|1971|pp=121–122}} ''Prinz Eugen'' had also served as the name for four Austrian naval ships between 1848 and 1918.{{sfn|Sondhaus|1994|pp=363–364}} She was launched on 22 August 1938,{{sfn|Gröner|1990|p=67}} in a ceremony attended by Hitler and the Governor (German: ''[[Reichsstatthalter]]'') of [[Ostmark (Austria)|Ostmark]], [[Arthur Seyss-Inquart]], who made the christening speech. Also present at the launch was [[Regent of Hungary]], Admiral Miklós Horthy. Horthy had previously commanded the ''Tegetthoff''-class battleship ''Prinz Eugen'' from 24 November 1917 to 1 March 1918 and had commanded the Austro-Hungarian Navy in the final months of World War I. Horthy wife's, [[Magdolna Purgly]], performed the christening.{{sfn|Koop & Schmolke|1992|p=146}} In reference to her originally planned name and in homage to the Austro-Hungarian Navy, the bell from ''Tegetthoff'' was presented to the German cruiser ''Prinz Eugen'' on 22 November 1942 by the Italian Regia Marina.{{sfn|Koop & Schmolke|1992|pp=182–183}} After World War II, the bell from ''Tegetthoff'' was placed on display in [[Graz]], [[Austria]], where it can still be viewed.{{sfn|Koop & Schmolke|1992|p=160}}

The wreck of ''Szent István'' was located in the mid-1970s by the [[Yugoslav Navy]]. She lies upside down at a depth of {{convert|66|m|0|sp=us}}.{{sfn|Sieche|1991|pp=138, 142}} Her bow broke off when it hit the seabed while the stern was still afloat, but is immediately adjacent to the rest of the heavily encrusted hull. The two holes from the torpedo hits are visible in the side of the ship as is another deep hole which may be from a torpedo fired at ''Tegetthoff'' by ''MAS-21''. She is a protected site of the Croatian Ministry of Culture.{{sfn|Guérin|Ulrike|2013|p=46}}
