From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Navy of the Yugoslav Partisans, also known as "'Tito's Navy'", was a maritime force created on 18 December 1942 as part of the National Liberation Army and Partisan Detachments of Yugoslavia, led by Josip Broz Tito during World War II. Almost all of the vessels employed by it were former civilian ships and boats, with nearly 90 fighting vessels and over 200 transports seeing service during the war.
