Croatian missile boat Kralj Dmitar Zvonimir (RTOP-12) Informations

Kralj Dmitar Zvonimir (pennant number RTOP-12) is Kralj-class missile boat in service with the Croatian Navy. Like its sister ship Kralj Petar Krešimir IV (RTOP-11), Kralj Dmitar Zvonimir features a mixture of Western and Eastern equipment including a Swedish forward gun and anti-ship missiles as well as Russian-built propulsion and close-in weapon system (CIWS).

Although the ship was laid down in 1993, it wasnt until 2001 it was launched and commissioned, still lacking complete armament. Even though they belong to the same class, Kralj Dimtar Zvonimir features slight changes compared to Kralj Petar Krešimir IV. These include an altered bridge, longer hull and digitalised control of the propulsion.
