This time Austrian navy.

This card was sent by a sailor of the Austrian pre-Dreadnought, SMS Zrinyi in June 1917, from the base at Pola. She had a relatively quiet war, being part of the "fleet-in-being" tying up considerable Allied naval forces to prevent a breakout from the Adriatic.

At the end of the war, she surrendered to a US squadron but was later ceded to Italy. She was broken up for scrap in 1921.

As with the German sailors, this one has written the name of the ship on the card. I should however appreciate any member who can make out the destination and perhaps the message
