CENTRAL AND PERIPHERAL ORGANIZATIONS OF THE YUGOSLAV NAVY 50X1-HUM
began to
Right after the war, the new Yugoslav regimefievote0)particular
attention to building up its navy, which was considered a basic fac-
tor in the national defense system. It accordingly constructed light,
speedy units of limited draft designed for effective control of the
Adriatic, and also suitable for navigation along the indented Dalma-
tian coastline.
The regime also concerned itself with securing territorial defense
by control ofL7th9navigable rivers6he Danube, the Sava, and the
Drava, as well as Lakes Ohrid and Prespa (located on the borders of
Albania and Greece), for which purpose it created a special branch
of the navy.
The general command of the Yugoslav navy, whose headquarters
are located at Spalatcy like the other armed services, comes under
a single ministry of the government in Belgrade, namely, the MINI-
48TARSTVO NARODNE ?BRAKE, or the Ministry of Defense.
The General Headquarters of the Navy are located in a 5-story
building on Riva Saveznicka Obala, north of the city and about one
kilometer from President Tito's summer residence.
Serving at General Headquarters are the following regular and
superior officers:

The Radio-Telegraph Communication service also follows the
same subdivision, and is directly subordinate to the Communication
Canter at Belgrade. The principal radio stations are the PREMONTURA
Pula, Split

main transmitting stations 27 - stazioni capomaglie for the respec-
