T7 was a sea-going torpedo boat operated by the Royal Yugoslav Navy between 1921 and 1941, after spending World War I in Austro-Hungarian Navy service. Originally 96 F of the 250t-class, she saw active service during that war, performing convoy, patrol, escort and minesweeping tasks, and anti-submarine operations. Following Austria-Hungary's defeat in 1918, 96 F was renamed T7 and allocated to what became the Royal Yugoslav Navy. In April 1941 the ship was captured by the Italians during the German-led Axis invasion of Yugoslavia. After her main armament was modernised, she served with the Royal Italian Navy, conducting coastal and second-line escort duties in the Adriatic. Following the Italian capitulation in September 1943, she was handed over by the Germans to the Navy of the Independent State of Croatia. She was driven aground by British motor torpedo boats in June 1944 and destroyed by the British Army to prevent her salvage. (Full article...)
