SMS Ulan was the second ship of the Huszár-class destroyers, serving the Austro-Hungarian Navy from the beginning of the 20th century and World War I.
Shortly after the outbreak of World War I, Ulan took part in August 1914 in the blockade of the Montenegrin coast.
[3] On 16 August 1914, the ship patrolled there with the cruiser Zenta and were surprised by an Allied fleet.
Under the orders of the Zenta's commander, Captain Paul Pachner, Ulan managed to escape the ensuing battle.
On the night of 2 March 1915, Ulan took part in an expedition to the port of Antivari (along with her sisters Csikós and Streiter and torpedo boats 57T, 66F and 67F), which ended with shelling and laying mines at the port and the destruction of the Montenegrin royal yacht Rumija.
