peacekeeping fleet, to be manned by the Austrian navy.

Glad to see the quality of (probably) the second-best navy of the first
half of the last century recognised. The Austrian navy in Big Mistake
One were /bloody/ good. They saw the back of the RN in a serious
amd fairly equal cruiser action, which IIRC no-one else managed for
100-odd years before (and never since).
Also the first navy to use organic ASW air for convoy escort (1915,
I believe). The Austrian navy was a serious force. Just be glad the
german navy never matched its quality.
