Monarch-class coastal defense ships edit

This is a good topic of some obscure Austro-Hungarian ships. They were a transitional type between the ironclads of the 1860s and '70s and the later pre-dreadnought battleships that the Austro-Hungarian government decided that it needed to have. They were used for coast bombardment duties during World War I before being hulked in the last year of the war.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 19:26, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
