The Szent Istvan was the fourth ship in the Austro-Hungarian Tegetthoff
class of battleship but the only dreadnought operated by Hungary.
Hungary
got her battleship in return for agreeing to the immense funding of the
Tegetthoff class and named her after Hungary's first Christian king
(Szent
Istvan/St Stephen). The lead ship of the class, SMS Viribus Unitis was
the
first battleship to be commissioned with triple gun turrets
***

I thought it was St. Stephen, but had to find a site to verify. Whenever
I
see the name, I think of the Spanish 'Estiban'.
