Battle of Lissa (1866)
The Battle of Lissa took place on 20 July 1866 in the Adriatic Sea near the island of Lissa (now Vis) and was a victory for an outnumbered Austrian force over an Italian force. It was the first major sea battle involving ships using iron and steam, and one of the last to involve deliberate ramming.
