Yugoslav shipbuilding suffered great material damage during World War II. Even that which was not destroyed had very little value at its end. Shipyards had to be built and upgraded according to new ...and modern concepts. All adopted construction plans and projects of renewal, reorganisation, and modernisation, as well as parallel efforts in production and investment construction, in Yugoslavia were aimed at developing an industrial branch that had been of very little economic importance for the country before World War II. For that reason, significant financial resources (around 28 billion dinars) were invested in the development of the shipyard in the observed period, which enabled larger-scale shipbuilding to begin during the 1950s. Given the permanent military threat to the country in the first post-war decade, shipbuilding in that period placed emphasis on the construction of ships for the needs of the navy. A large number of vessels were built for the needs of the Yugoslav Navy, which significantly contributed to increasing the country’s defence capability. However, we must point out that the first fleet program from 1947, which, among other things, foresaw the delivery of 4 cruisers, 20 destroyers, and about 100 submarines to the navy, was never carried out. Due to the reduction of the danger of war, starting in 1953, Yugoslav shipyards began to pay more and more attention to the construction of ships for the needs of the merchant marine and for export. In the last five observed years (1956–1960), shipbuilding became a distinctly export industry, placing more than half of its products on foreign markets. The increase in shipbuilding production in this period also had a favourable effect on the development of many other industries (ferrous metallurgy, electrical and mechanical industry, etc.), but above all it had a great influence on the improvement of the Yugoslav foreign trade balance.
V okviru projekta Vzhodnoazijske zbirke v Sloveniji smo evidentirali dve kozuki, v resnici le ročaja nožev, ki so se uporabljali v kontekstu bojevniške kulture na Japonskem. Kozuka kot majhen nož je ...imela svoje mesto na skrbno izdelanem samurajskem meču med 16. in 19. stoletjem. Članek na kratko predstavlja zbirateljstvo na Japonskem in prve stike zahodnih zbirateljev z japonskimi starimi in eksotičnimi predmeti. Upodobitvi na zunanji strani kozuk, ki ju hrani Pomorski muzej v Piranu, prikazujeta boga Fukurokujuja v ljudskem verovanju in prizor »žrebec pod češnjevimi cvetovi«. Na osnovi ozadja nekdanjega lastnika Antona Dolenca (1871–1920), ki je kot član avstro-ogrske mornarice potoval v Vzhodno Azijo, lahko ugotovimo čas in kraj nakupa oz. pridobitve obeh kozuk. Kozuki je odkupil Pomorski muzej v Piranu leta 1964, medtem ko so nekateri drugi predmeti iz Dolenčeve zbirke končali v Slovenskem etnografskem muzeju v Ljubljani.
Autor obrađuje deset natpisa iz Salone koji su pripadali aktivnim i isluženim vojnicima ravenatske i mizenatske carske ratne mornarice. Diploma mornaričkog centuriona datira u 71. godinu, nadgrobni ...natpis jednog mornara u drugu polovicu 1. stoljeća, ulomak natpisa između 1. i 3. stoljeća, a ostalih sedam nadgrobnih natpisa pripada kasnom principatu. Natpisi se sagledavaju u kontekstu važnosti luke u Saloni i jačanja njezine vojne posade u kasnom principatu.
Nadgrobna stela Likeja (Liccaeus), sina Vejova, centuriona liburne Lucusta, izložena je u lapidariju u Osoru (Apsorus) na otoku Cresu (Crexi). Bila je objavljena više puta, ali ni jedna od tih objava ...nije uzela u obzir sve raspoložive podatke o mjestu njezina nalaska. Likej i njegov nasljednik Dabal (Dabalus), sin Tritov, nisu pripadali starosjedilačkom stanovništvu otoka, već su mogli potjecati s delmatskog područja. Unatoč tomu, Likej je morao biti istaknuta osoba u Apsoru jer mu je bilo dodijeljeno javno zemljište za njegov pogreb. Njegov je nadgrobni spomenik pronađen u Osoru, a ne u Punti Križa, selu udaljenom kojih 15 km južno od Osora.
The article provides an overview of the organisational development of the Yugoslav People’s Army (YPA) in the Socialist Republic of Croatia (SRC) during the 1960s. The organisational development of ...YPA units in the SRC was generally almost identical to that of YPA units in the other Yugoslav republics. The development of the Navy, however, was different. There were several organisational changes that affected the YPA units in the SRC in this period. The first of these was the plan ‘Drvar’ in 1959, which introduced many new organisational forms inspired by experiences from Yugoslav Partisan warfare in World War II and by war in expected nuclear conditions. Due to some radical solutions that actually burdened the functioning of the YPA, a new organisational plan, ‘Drvar II’, was introduced in 1964 to amend this. It was followed by further reorganisations: one in 1965, which adjusted the names and traditions of the Partisan units and existing YPA units, another in 1966–1968, entitled ‘Snaga’ (Power), which led to the downsizing of the YPA following the notion in the highest Yugoslav military circles that foreign aggression was only possible from the NATO side. The sudden Warsaw Pact aggression on Czechoslovakia in August 1968 brought change in the Yugoslav perception of possible aggressors, which now included the neighbouring communist countries. This led to another organisational change entitled ‘Snaga II’. Looking from a distance, it seems that organisational changes in the YPA during the 1960s were endless. The article also notes the YPA turn to the Soviet Union for the purchasing of the modern military equipment, ranging from main battle tanks to supersonic fighters. It was written on the basis of the still-restricted sources of the Yugoslav General Staff that are kept in the Organisational Department of the Republic of Serbia’s Ministry of Defence.

Najaktuelnija pitanja današnjice u oblasti brodogradnje, koja se odnose na sakrivanje tragova brodova ratne mornarice, usmerena su na: smanjenje buke, sakrivanje tragova, vidljivost brodova i ...podmornica, kao i smanjenje deplasmana. Svi ovi faktori postižu se zahvaljujući primeni odgovarajućih materijala i specijalnih legura u brodogradnji. U reševanju širokog dijapazona pitanja velika pažnja poklanja se opremanju brodova savremenim kompleksima raketnog i artiljerijskog naoružanja, sredstvima PVO (protivvazduhoplovna odbrana) i REB (radioelektronska borba). Multifunkcionalnost brodova ratne mornarice postaje osnovni kriterijum za njihovu bojevu primenu. / The most modern shipbuilding issues concerning stealth technology in navy ships are focused on wake and acoustic signature reduction, reduction of visibility of ships and submarines as well as of their displacement. Special materials and alloys are used in shipbuilding for such purposes. In solving a wide range of such issues, a special emphasis has been placed on equipping vessels with up-to-date missile and artillery systems, antiaircraft defence systems and electronic warfare and radar systems. The multifunctionality of Navy vessels becomes the main criterion for their combat deployment. / В настоящее время одними из основных вопросов в кораблестроении определяющих скрытность сил флота, являются: уменьшение шумности, следности, заметности кораблей и подводных лодок, что в свою очередь, достигается применением при строительстве специальных материалов и сплавов, а также уменьшением их водоизмещения. Большое внимание уделяется оснащению кораблей современными комплексами ракетного и артиллерийского вооружения, средствами ПВО (противовоздушной обороны) и РЭБ (радиоэлектронной борьбы) для решения широкого круга задач. Основным критерием боевого использования кораблей ВМФ становится их многофункциональность.
