SMS Satellit

From Warlike

Q698814




SMS Satellit was a gunboat which was ordered from Schichau in 1892. It was the fastest boat in the Austrian Imperial and Royal Navy from its delivery to the delivery of the SMS Magnet, likewise built at Schichau. Satellit differed significantly in size and propulsion from the three Meteor-class "torpedo ships" delivered in 1887/1888. On the other hand, the later Magnet also differed significantly from her with her two funnels. The Trabant, built before her in Trieste was the same in terms of size, appearance and technical design, its most similar boat in the Austro-Hungarian Navy. The ship was significantly modernized in 1912 with the installation of modern Yarrow boilers. With this work, she also received three new tall funnels, giving her a unique look. Satellit remained in coastal defense service until the end of World War I.
