- ... that the cruiser SMS Admiral Spaun was the first ship of the Austro-Hungarian Navy to be constructed with steam turbines? Source: "Admiral Spaun was the first major turbine-powered unit of the Austrian-Hungarian Navy" (Gardiner and Gray 1984, p. 336)
- ALT1:... that after the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, the Austro-Hungarian cruiser SMS Admiral Spaun helped to escort his body back back to Trieste? Source: "Upon receiving word of the assassination, Haus raced from Pola to the mouth of the Narenta aboard the yacht Lacroma, escorted by the dreadnought Tegetthoff the scout cruiser Admiral Spaun, and every torpedo boat that was ready to put to sea. The hastily as sembled escort fleet was on hand in time to witness the transfer of the bodies to the Viribus Unitis; thereafter, the entire force moved slowly up the coast to Trieste, remaining within sight of land much of the way." (Sondhaus 1994, p. 244)

Hi White Shadows, review follows: Article moved to mainspace 6 August; article is very comprehensive and greatly exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited throughout to reliable sources; as the sources are all offline I am assuming in good faith that there is no copyright violation; image used is public domain and tagged appropriately; hooks are interesting and cited in the article - happy to AGF based on the extracts provided (I am assuming "major unit" in the context refers to ships, with all previous units being small boats or the like); QPQ has been completed - Dumelow (talk) 09:35, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
