Montenegrin Navy
The Montenegrin Navy is the naval branch of the military of Montenegro.
The Montenegrin Navy was established in 2006 following the secession of Montenegro from the State [Union of Serbia and Montenegro]. Nearly all of the navy's equipment was inherited from the armed forces of the State Union—as Montenegro contained the entire coastline of the former union, it retained practically the entire naval force.
