The Battle of Lissa (or Battle of Vis) (Croatian: Bitka kod Visa) was a naval battle between an Italian and an Austrian fleet during the Third Italian War of Independence. It took place on July 20, 1866, near the island of Vis (then Lissa), which is now part of Croatia. The Kingdom of Italy intended to capture Habsburg Venetia and break Austria's naval dominance in the Adriatic. However, the Imperial Austrian Navy managed to secure victory despite the numerical and technical superiority of the Italian fleet by employing ramming tactics.(Submitted on February 3, 2025, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
