Hrabri-class submarine

The Hrabri class were two submarines built for the Royal Yugoslav Navy in Great Britain during the 1920s. The boats fought in World War II.

Design
The ships were designed and built by Vickers Armstrong in Britain and were based on the British L class submarine. The design was considered obsolescent and the boats were obtained at a low price by using material assembled for the cancelled British submarines L67 and L68. The submarines were considered too large for Adriatic conditions and could only dive to 80 m.

Ships
Two boats were built by Vickers Armstrong on Tyneside
