TFA blurb review

[edit]

Hrabri (Brave) was the lead boat of the Hrabri-class submarines of the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (later Yugoslavia). Built by the Vickers-Armstrong Naval Yard in the United Kingdom, these submarines were among the first vessels developed under a ten-year construction program initiated in 1926. Hrabri's design was based on the British L-class submarine of World War I, and she was built using parts originally assembled for a submarine of that class that was never completed. Launched in 1927, she was armed with six bow-mounted 533 mm (21 in) torpedo tubes, two 102 mm (4 in) guns and one machine gun, and could dive to 60 metres (200 ft). Prior to World War II, she participated in several cruises to Mediterranean ports. During the German-led Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, she was captured by Italian forces. She was given the number N3 but was not recommissioned, and was scrapped later in 1941 due to her poor condition. (Full article...)
