message: This article repeatedly refers to its subject's "half-sister" ships.  What is a half-sister ship, and how does it differ from a (full) sister?  This should be explained. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 21:26, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

message: There were only two torpedos launched at Szent István, those from MAS 15. MAS 21 fired both of her torpedos at Tegetthoff, none of them hit. In the section "Legacy" there is a hint, that maybe one of MAS 21's torpedoes hit her, but there is no chance for it. It was an assumption in the late 90's that proved to be wrong. These damages were caused by the sinking of the ship (maybe implosion). --Andreas (talk) 13:27, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Do we have any sources that suggest where the other hole came from? It's easy to find sources which suggest one of MAS 21's torpedoes hit the ship. If that assumption is incorrect, we can definitely include a competing theory in the article...we just need to find a source that brings up the alternate theory. Otherwise, we can remove the guess that MAS 21 hit the ship altogether if been documented that such a thing did not happen.--White Shadows Let’s Talk 14:30, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: As far as I know the theory about Giuseppe Aonzo with MAS 21 hits Szent István states, that he later denied attacking the Tegetthoff but aimed at the first in line as Rizzo. I do not know what source says this, but the official report of both the MAS-Commanders (Rizzo and Aonzo) agrees, that they were attacking different targets. You can find the reports in this newly issued bulletin by the italian navy:L’azione di Premuda. Aonzo declares in his report (pages 67-68): "Portatomi sulla dritta della seconda grande nave …". One do not need to speak Italian to understand this sentence. Even if Aonzo claims a direct hit on the second in line battleship (which must be a false observation on Tegetthoff), MAS 21 definitely did not hit Szent István.--Andreas (talk) 22:03, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the citation! If you'd like to add it to the article, go right ahead. I think it's worth including this in there.--White Shadows Let’s Talk 20:58, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Not this time I think. My Englisch is not the best for sure. Beside implosion there is another theory about the cause of the holes. Maybe the weight of the water inside the engine rooms pulled down the middle section of the ship, while the rooms aft and forward - still filled with air - wanted upwards. This could have bent the structure on the already damaged side of the ship. Here are some drawings of this potential process. --Andreas (talk) 12:25, 21 July 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Only two torpedos 

message: The article states "At about 3:15 am on 10 June, two Italian MAS boats, MAS-15 and MAS-21, spotted the smoke from the Austrian ships".  How did they see something dark at night?  Or was the time misleading, and it was already past daybreak? --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 17:43, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
