T4 was a seagoing torpedo boat operated by the Royal Yugoslav Navy

between 1921 and 1932. Originally built in 1914 for the Austro-Hungarian

Navy as a 250t-class torpedo boat, she saw active service during World

War I, performing convoy, patrol, escort and minesweeping tasks, anti-

submarine operations and shore bombardment missions. Following Austria-

Hungary's defeat in 1918, she was allocated to the Navy of the Kingdom

of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which later became the Royal Yugoslav

Navy, and was renamed T4. During the interwar period, T4 and the rest of

the navy were involved in training exercises and cruises to friendly

ports. In 1932, she ran aground on the island of Drvenik Mali off the

central Dalmatian coast and the hull broke in half. The bow remained on

the island, and the stern was towed to the Tivat Arsenal in the Bay of

Kotor. (This article is part of a featured topic: Ships of the Royal

Wikiquote quote of the day:

  It is good to know that our nation's defenses against a

conventional attack are impregnable, and an imperative that America

remain vigilant against threats from terrorists. But as is the case with

a human being, admirable characteristics of a nation are not defined by

size and physical prowess. What are some of the other attributes of a

superpower? Once again, they might very well mirror those of a person.

These would include a demonstrable commitment to truth, justice, peace,

freedom, humility, human rights, generosity, and the upholding of other

moral values.  

--Jimmy Carter
