Admirals from Croatia served in many naval forces on the eastern Adriatic seaboard. First admirals, were mentioned in 1350s as commanders of the royal fleet of Croatian-Hungarian king Louis I. Officers from today's Croatia served in various navies in control of Croatia or its parts. For instance, Jusuf Mašković served as a grand admiral of Ottoman Navy in 1630s; Ivan of Vrana was a Venetian admiral in late 16th century, taking part in the Battle of Lepanto. Croatian personnel served in the Venetian Navy until its demise in 1797 and, in modern times, in Habsburg/Austro-Hungarian Navy as Croatia was a constituent part of the monarchy. First Croatian admirals distinguished themselves commanding Habsburg ships in First Italian War of Independence in 1848.
