Albona-class minelayer

Ships and Boats

The Albona class was a group of mine warfare ships operated by the Italian Regia Marina. Fourteen vessels were laid down for the Austro-Hungarian Navy in 1917 and 1918, but only three were completed for Italy in 1920. Related vessels served with the Royal Yugoslav Navy and later the Yugoslav Navy. Two former ships laid mines in the Corfu Channel incident in 1946. The last three surviving ships were removed from the navy list in 1962 and 1963.

Original construction: Fourteen ships were laid down for the Austro-Hungarian Navy between 1917 and 1918.
Italian completion: Three ships were completed for the Regia Marina in 1920.
Mine capacity: Completed ships could carry 24 to 39 naval mines.
