Hi again!
Something obscure: The only 'battleship' ever exported by an Austrian Yard to another nation, the Turkish central citadel ironclad Icaliye.
At 2.300 tons, Icaliye was actually corvette-sized, but considered part of the battlefleet by Ottoman standards. She had two 234mm guns (forward in the casemate) and three 178mm guns (two aft in the casemate, one in a centerline barbette amidships), all of them muzzle loaders. Armour was wrought iron, and her single-screw engine developed 1.800 ihp for 12 knots. She was rigged as a brig.
She saw action in the 1878 war against Russia, when the Ottoman Empire was able to field 15 ironclads between 2.000 and nearly 10.000 tons. She was modernized in 1891, with 150mm Krupp guns replacing the 178mm, and adding a light battery of eight guns in four different calibers; the sailing rig was cut down. At that time, she already was no longer seaworthy and used first as a guard ship, then from 1897 as an accommodation hulk. During the Balcan war in 1912, she was briefly reactivated as a floating battery. Her engines were inoperable, and she had to be towed to her area of operation. She reverted to hulk afterwards and was scrapped some time after the First World war.
