Naval service

Radetzky was converted into a gunnery training ship in 1897, and in 1908 she was renamed Adria when her name was needed for a new dreadnought. From 1915 she served as an accommodation ship for German naval personnel at Pola where she stayed until the end of the First World War, in 1920 she was sold to Italy and scrapped. In 1900 Laudon's engines were removed and she became a stationary cadet training ship, and was renamed Schwarzenberg. In 1919 she was allocated to Yugoslavia and renamed Prvi, and in the same year she was confiscated by Italy, and towed away to be scrapped in 1923.
