Overview
After World War I, the fleets of Germany and Austria-Hungary were shared between the winning countries. SMS Strassburg was transferred to the Italian Navy and renamed Taranto. In the early 1920s, the cruiser received a reconnaissance seaplane and new AA guns. In the interwar period, she served in the Mediterranean and was then re-equipped for colonial service. During World War II, the cruiser performed minelaying and patrol missions.
