... service history wanted.

Lemnos

... or Limnos (Greek: Λήμνος) is a Greek island in the northern Aegean Sea.

The Naval Battle of Lemnos (18 January 1913)

... was a naval battle during the First Balkan War, in which the Greeks defeated the second and last attempt of the Ottoman Empire to break the Greek naval blockade of the Dardanelles and reclaim supremacy over the Aegean Sea. This, the final naval battle of the First Balkan War, forced the Ottoman Navy to retreat to its base within the Dardanelles, from which it did not venture for the rest of the war, thus ensuring the dominion of the Aegean Sea and the Aegean islands by Greece.
