Triglav is an Svetlyak-class patrol boat in use by the 430 Naval Section of the Slovenian Armed Forces. It was acquired by Slovenia from Russia as repayment of a multi million debt. It performs duties such as supporting diver operations, surveying the Slovenian territorial sea and preventing marine disasters. It can also be deployed under NATO or alone.
History
In 2008 Slovenia and Russia agreed on purchase of one Project 10412-class patrol boat. It was acquired in exchange for multimillion-dollar debt from Russia. Ship was laid down in 2009, completed in 2011 and delivered to Slovenia same year and named SNS Triglav after Slovenian highest mountain Triglav. Triglav received specially customized armament, optimized for patrol role and lacking anti-ship missiles. In late 2012 this loop was overturned by mounting six 9M120 anti-ship missile system. In summer 2015 Triglav underwent overhaul in Trieste shipyard.
Deployments
The Slovenian Patrol boat Triglav has been sent to east Sicily on 15 December 2013 to assist Italy with handling of refugees coming from Africa as part of operation Mare Nostrum.
In October 2015, the vessel was sent to southern Italy as a part of European Union's Operation Sophia.
Triglav successfully carried out its first rescue operation on 28 October. In the mission, Triglav recovered 100 people (71 men, 17 females and 12 children).[1]
