I suspect it's more that the NSL is Austria-Hungary. See

Viribus Unitis class (of which Szent Istvan, Tegetthoff and Prinz Eugen
were the other members - some familiar names there...).

Szent Istvan == Saint Stephen.

I looked this up a little while back because I was trying to get
plausible names of ships within the classes given. I knew things were
getting obscure when the web search for Maria von Burgund turned up
