 The first three ships were built at the Stabilimento Tecnico Triestino yard , Trieste , but as a condition of agreeing to the construction and financing of the new fleet , the Hungarian parliament insisted that one of the battleships be built at the Hungarian facility , the Danubius yard at Fiume – Rijeka ( pronounced : <unk> ) , now Croatia . However , the <unk> shipyard had until then never built anything larger than a destroyer , therefore delayed construction as the yard was extended in preparation for the dreadnought . For this reason the final ship , delivered seventeen months late , was given a Hungarian name — named Szent István after Saint Stephen , the first king and patron saint of Hungary .
