Since then, the ship has been used as a training ship and a patrol boat of the Croatian Coast Guard. In 2015 Andrija Mohorovovičić deployed to southern Italy to participate in Operation Triton, rescuing immigrants attempting to cross the Mediterranean Sea into the European Union. The ship returned to Croatia after three months, rescuing over 2,500 immigrants during the course of its deployment
Andrija Mohorovičić was built in 1971 at the Gdańsk Shipyard in what was then the Polish People's Republic. It measures 73.3 m (240 ft 6 in) in length, has a draught of 3.2 m (10 ft 6 in), a 11.2 m (36 ft 9 in) beam and a full displacement of 1,514 tonnes (1,490 long tons). Propulsion consists of two Zgoda-Sulzer 6TD48 diesel engines rated at 3,300 horsepower (2,500 kW) and mounted on two shafts, giving the ship a speed of 17 knots (31 km/h; 20 mph). Traveling at a speed of 11 knots (20 km/h; 13 mph) the ship has a range of 9,000 nautical miles (17,000 km; 10,000 mi). The crew numbers 27 members, four of which are officers.[1] Its sole armament consists of two single-barreled 20 mm (0.79 in) guns.[2] The ship is also equipped with a crane and a launch.[1]
Service historyedit
Andrija Mohorovičić was commissioned in the Yugoslav Navy on 10 September 1972, and was assigned to the Navy's Hydrographic Institute under the command of Đuro Pojer.[3] From October 1990, Andrija Mohorovičić was in Šibenik undergoing an overhaul and conversion to a training ship intended as a replacement for Galeb. The outbreak of the Croatian War of Independence, however, led to the ship being captured by Croatian forces in September 1991. Work on the conversion was completed by late 1993 and the ship was commissioned in the Croatian Navy in January 1994 with Renato Žarković as its first commander in Croatian service.[4]
