Kralj Dmitar Zvonimir (pennant number RTOP-12) is Kralj-class missile boat in service with the Croatian Navy. Like its sister ship Kralj Petar Krešimir IV (RTOP-11), Kralj Dmitar Zvonimir features a mixture of Western and Eastern equipment including a Swedish forward gun and anti-ship missiles as well as Russian-built propulsion and close-in weapon system (CIWS).

Although the ship was laid down in 1993, it wasn't until 2001 it was launched and commissioned, still lacking complete armament. Even though they belong to the same class, Kralj Dimtar Zvonimir features slight changes compared to Kralj Petar Krešimir IV. These include an altered bridge, longer hull and digitalised control of the propulsion.[1]
Notes
gollark: Ybot == lyricly confirmed?!
gollark: They promised transparency, user involvement, general good things I forgot (manifesto should still exist somewhere).
gollark: Due to something, palaiologos won the vote by rather a lot, despite having only been a member for a few months.
gollark: Due to LyricLy being somewhat unserious as owner, we wanted to remove them and get someone else in place. This worked; LyricLy agreed to resign due to things (no blackmail*!) and we held an election.
gollark: I don't know, really. There are theories.
