The article says that the ship was handed over to Yugoslavia in October 1918. But Yugoslavia was not created until December 1918. Before then the "State of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs" claimed authority but this was never recognised. The name Yugoslavia was not used until considerably later —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.169.162.100 (talk) 09:01, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
Hore's Battleships of World War I, Conway's All the World's Fighting Ships 1906-1922, and the USN website to which the sentence is specifically sourced, all say Yugoslavia. However, none of those sources are experts on Balkan political developments. It seems to me that we're sort of between a rock and a hard place; any source that would have the necessary level of detail about this ship will probably not have the necessary level of expertise on the late-WWI disintegration of Austro-Hungary. I'd rather not change it from Yugoslavia until we have a specific source for what political entity the Austrian navy wanted to give this ship. Parsecboy (talk) 12:19, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
