An item referred to the magazine Journal R.U.S.I. reporting that the Austrian admiral Montecuccoli (1) stated before the budget commission that the displacement of the new battleships [Radeztky-class] would be 14.000 ton.(2) This size was considered to be enough while the ships would operate within the Mediterranean area. With this new 3 ships numbered the Austrian navy totally 12 battleships. The ships although not so strong as were they also not weak compared with the 18.000 ton battleships of other naval powers.
