I sneak that in, since it fits the topic. We once were a seapower. And that's one of our Dreadnoughts, the Szent Istvan, still being presevered at the bottom of the Adriatic. Sunk 1918.

In many crappy documentaries about WWI or two, this footage is shown when talking about basically every battleship ever sunk. This footage is from the Szent Istvan, which happened to be filmed. I always keep facepalming when they talk about british ships being sunk by WWII german subs and showing this footage.

That's how they found him (Austro Hungarian ships always were male) some ten years ago.
