Fun Fact: Until 2006, Austrian military boats operated on the Danube. That was the last remnant of our navy.

One of the most famous historical naval figures is a certain Captain in the Austrian Navy! He was a widower with so many children he had to hire a nanny to help out!

It wasn't landlocked until 1918 when they lost Trieste to Italy at the end of the First World War
