- My Great Grand Father was on the SMS Viribus Unitis.
SMS Viribus Unitis was the first Austro-Hungarian dreadnought battleship of the Tegetthoff-class. Its name, meaning "With United Forces", was the personal motto of Emperor Franz Joseph I. As the first of the newly created Tegetthoff-class battleships, she was laid down in Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino shipyard in Trieste on 24 July 1910. Viribus Unitis was launched from the shipyard on 24 June 1911.
- She had the stop speed speed of 20 knots (23 mph; 37 km/h).
During World War I, Viribus Unitis took part in the flight of the German warships SMS Goeben and SMS Breslau. In May 1915, she also took part in the bombardment of the Italian port city of Ancona. Viribus Unitis was sunk by a limpet mine planted by frogmen of the Italian Regia Marina on 1 November 1918.
When Sir Floyd was little he was driven around in a Ford Zephyr Mark II.
