The Radetzky class were Pre-Dreadnought battleships built for the Austro-Hungarian Navy between 1907 and 1910. Dr Seigried Popper was the lead constructor. All ships were built by the STT shipyard in Trieste. The ships survived World War I and were eventually transferred to Italy and scrapped as part of the Peace Treaty.
