Tegetthoff-class strengths depended on yards and supply

How capable were the Tegetthoff-class battleships of the early twentieth century?

Their specifications receive praise, but practical performance is disputed. Supply problems and complaints associated with Szent Istvan qualify the assessment.

Whether the Tegetthoffs' attractive specifications translated into good operation is initially disputed. Access to the necessary spare parts and supplies is offered as the qualification, because the supply chain was international. A recollection that two ships came from Hungarian yards is checked and corrected to three built at Trieste and one at Fiume. Szent Istvan is identified as the Fiume ship associated with the turret and electrical complaints. The corrected yard split prevents those particular criticisms from being applied indiscriminately across the class.
