(ANSA) - ZAGABRIA, 06 AGO - Croatia plans to buy a new corvette, which will also have the status of a flagship, with an investment of about 500 million euros. The ship is expected to enter service between 2025 and 2030. The Zagreb daily Jutarnji list writes this. Yesterday Prime Minister Andrej Plenković confirmed that the government he leads has initiated procedures to "have a modern and powerful multipurpose ship." The ship is expected to be about one hundred meters long, twice as long as the Petar Krešimir missile gunship, currently the largest in the Croatian Navy, which has been in service since 1992. The corvette is expected to be equipped with anti-submarine weapons, an anti-aircraft defense system, small-caliber guns, surface-to-surface missiles, and surface-to-air missiles.
