The battle of Vis

By Edoardo Pavia & Gabriele Paparo

The battle of Vis

Into the turquoise blue of the Croatian waters, off the island of Vis in about 120 m of water, the witnesses of the battle of Vis lie silently.

The Regia Marina of the Italian Kingdom and the K.u.K. Kriegsmarine of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire, fought the last naval battle using the ram technique and the first one using battleships with steam propulsion.
