Kaiser Franz Joseph I-class cruiser
[edit]
- ... that the Kaiser Franz Joseph I-class cruiser Kaiserin Elisabeth accompanied Archduke Franz Ferdinand on his circumnavigation of the world between 1892 and 1893?
? Source: "By December 1892, when he boarded the Kaiserin Elisabeth, Francis Ferdinand was badly in need of the escape and diversion of foreign travel...Their route went from Trieste via the Suez Canal to Ceylon, then Bombay, where Francis Ferdinand and his personal entourage disembarked for a tour of India. The Kaiserin Elisabeth met Francis Ferdinand at Calcutta, and the voyage proceeded by way of the Dutch East Indies to Sydney, where the archduke again left the ship in order to tour the Australian outback. From Sydney the cruise continued through the islands of the southwest Pacific, then to Singapore, Hong Kong, and Japan. The Kaiserin Elisabeth left Francis Ferdinand at the end of his Japanese tour and went on to show the flag in East Asian Waters before returning home by way of the Suez Canal later in 1893. The archduke continued his circumnavegation of the globe...In October 1893, he arrived in Vienna from Le Harve, to be welcomed home by Francis Joseph." (Sondhaus 1994, pp. 124-125)
- ALT1:... that the failure of the Kaiser Franz Joseph I-class cruisers contributed to the Austro-Hungarian Navy's decision to construct a series of battleships in the early 20th century? Source: "...the support for his "Jeune École" fleet faded away and Austria-Hungary returned to capital sip construction with the building of the Habsburg class battleships, the first of which was laid down in 1899." (Sieche 1995, p. 32) "...the Pola group's emphasis on battleships over cruisers repudiated the Jeune Ecole philosophy." (Sondhaus 1994, p. 102)

Fantastic work here. Article is long/new enough. Images are under fair use. QPQ is done. Both hooks are interesting, though ALT0 is my favorite. Sources are plentiful/reliable, and there is not a single instance where I thought a claim needed an additional source. Every claim in the infobox is sourced elsewhere in the article, I made sure to check (kudos to that, since a lot of editors tend to add details in the infobox and not include them elsewhere). The article is a strong candidate for GA as it stands, and maybe even FA should the editor decide to take it there. MX (✉ • ✎) 03:06, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
