This modern ship, which will raise the level of combat readiness for
the defence of the Croatian part of the Adriatic, will be handed
over to the Croatian Navy in September, on the occasion of the tenth
anniversary of its establishment.
At the launching ceremony, Mesic expressed hope that this
enterprise of the Kraljevica shipyard would raise interest in home
and foreign investors to invest into the shipbuilding industry in
which, he said, "Croatia has shown know-how and capability for the
realisation of projects at the highest level".
