'''''Cattaro''''' was a Yugoslavian passenger ship which was laid down in 1914 as the Austro-Hungarian '''''Hunyad'''''. However, construction was delayed due to the [[First World War]] and she was not launched until 1920. The vessel was then laid up and not completed until February 1932, entering service as '''''Jugoslavija'''''. She was seized by the Italians in 1941 and was put into service as the [[auxiliary cruiser]] ''Cattaro''. She was scuttled in 1943 but was raised by the Germans, repaired and entered [[Kriegsmarine]] service. She was again scuttled in March 1944 and suffered further damage in June 1944. Raised in 1945 and returned to her former owners and name, the ship was scrapped at [[Split (city)|Split]], [[Yugoslavia]] in 1947.
