List of active Croatian Navy ships

This is a list of active Croatian Navy ships. As of 2013, the Croatian Navy operates over 30 vessels including five missile boats which, along with three MOL coastal defence batteries, represent its main offensive capability.

Due to constant reductions of the defence budget and the ongoing financial crisis, acquisition of new ships has proven to be problematic. The latest ships to enter service with the Croatian Navy were two used Helsinki-class missile boats (at the time, aged 23 and 22 years) that were acquired as a offset agreement to the Croatian purchase of Patria AMV vehicles. Domestic production programs were limited to continuing existing Yugoslav designs and building a single missile boat (CROATIAN MISSILE BOAT Kralj Dmitar Zvonimir) and a small mine hunter (CROATIAN MINE HUNTER Korčula), both of which took several years to complete despite their small size.

Plans to start production of domestic patrol vessels much needed for guarding the 6000 km long coastline, have been reduced and postponed over time,  with newest plans to start a prototype in 2014. The remanining ships, most of which are over 20 years old, are in fact ships that were damaged or captured from the SFR Yugoslav Navy during the Croatian War of Independence.
