Osterreichs Kriegsmarine 1440-1848 and 1848-1918

Gogg, Karl: 1967 and 1972 Austria, hardcover with dust jacket, 185 pages and 168 pages, illustrated. “Oesterreichs Kriegsmarine 1440–1848” and “Oesterreichs Kriegsmarine 1848–1918” by Karl Gogg are a two‑volume history of the Austrian (and later Austro‑Hungarian) navy, split at the revolutionary year 1848. The first volume covers the Habsburg naval forces from their late‑medieval and early‑modern Adriatic beginnings up to the Vormärz, including Venetian and Ottoman conflicts, the gradual development of a permanent fleet and the institutional embedding of a “Kriegsmarine”. The second volume treats the steam and armour era from 1848 to the end of the First World War, with attention to fleet policy, shipbuilding, bases like Pola and the main campaigns and battles in the Adriatic.
