List of active Croatian Navy ships

{{Short description|none}}

File:Naval Ensign of Croatia.svg

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, which were acquired as an offset agreement to the Croatian purchase of Patria AMV vehicles.{{cite web |url=http://www.deagel.com/news/Patria-Delivered-Two-Helsinki-Class-Missile-Boats-to-Croatia_n000005166.aspx|title=Patria Delivered Two Helsinki-Class Missile Boats to Croatia|last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date=|website=deagel.com|publisher= |accessdate=13 November 2013}}

Domestic production programs were limited to continuing existing Yugoslav designs and building a single missile boat ({{ship|Croatian missile boat|Kralj Dmitar Zvonimir|RTOP-12|2}}) and a small mine hunter (Korčula), both of which took several years to complete.

Plans to start production of domestic patrol vessels (much needed for guarding the 6000 km long coastline) have been reduced and postponed over time {{cite web |url=http://www.poslovni.hr/mobile/hrvatska/novi-hrvatski-ophodni-brodovi-za-zerp-gradit-ce-se-u-kraljevici-69967|title=Novi hrvatski ophodni brodovi za ZERP gradit će se u Kraljevici|last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= February 11, 2008|website=poslovni.hr|publisher= |accessdate=13 November 2013}}{{cite web |url=http://obris.org/hrvatska/vlada-pokrenula-proces-nabave-ophodnih-brodova/|title=Vlada pokrenula proces nabave ophodnih brodova|last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date= September 13, 2009|website=obris.org|publisher= |accessdate=13 November 2013}}{{cite web |url=http://dalje.com/hr-hrvatska/prvi-obalni-ophodni-brod-gradit-ce-se-u-domacem-skveru/316656|title=Prvi obalni ophodni brod gradit će se u domaćem škveru|last1= |first1= |last2= |first2= |date=|website=dalje.com|publisher= |accessdate=13 November 2013}} with newest plans to start a prototype in 2015. The tender was in May 2014 and as projected, the first vessel will enter service in 2015. The second one will follow in 2016, the third and the fourth in 2017 and the last one in 2018. The units are projected to cost around 10 million euros each.{{cite web|url=http://www.defender.hr/republika-hrvatska/oruzane-snage/krenuo-postupak-nabave-obalnih-ophodnih-brodova-oob-1-4.php|title=Pokrenuta nabava obalnih ophodnih brodova (OOB) - 1+4|publisher=|access-date=14 December 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141214193701/http://www.defender.hr/republika-hrvatska/oruzane-snage/krenuo-postupak-nabave-obalnih-ophodnih-brodova-oob-1-4.php|archive-date=14 December 2014}}
