Raid on Premuda was a naval action of the World War I carried out by the torpedo boats MAS 15 and MAS 21 under the command of section leader Luigi Rizzo and respectively commanded by Armando Gori and Giuseppe Aonzo who, at dawn on 10 June 1918, leaving from the port of Ancona, secretly penetrated among the units of an enemy naval formation heading for the Strait of Otranto, managing to torpedo and sink the battleship SMS Szent István off Premuda. In the action, her sister battleship Tegetthoff was also hit by a torpedo, but the failure of the explosive device prevented her from sinking.
