History

Built in 1958 for the Yugoslav Navy, the vessel was captured by Croatian forces in Šibenik in 1991 during the Croatian War of Independence. It was subsequently commissioned into the newly formed Croatian Navy as PT-71 'Gaj' and served as a vital logistical asset. After decades of service in transport and support roles, the ship was decommissioned and retired from active naval service.
