Nebojša was the second of the Hrabri-class diesel-electric submarines built by the Vickers-Armstrong Naval Yard on the River Tyne in the United Kingdom. She was built using parts originally assembled for a Royal Navy L-class submarine that was never built. During the German-led Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, she evaded capture by Italian forces. She joined British naval forces in the Mediterranean where she performed a training role. After the war she was taken over by the new Yugoslav government and renamed Tara, but was eventually stricken in 1954, and scrapped in 1958.
About Yugoslav submarine Nebojša in brief
Nebojša was the second of the Hrabri-class diesel-electric submarines built by the Vickers-Armstrong Naval Yard on the River Tyne in the United Kingdom. She was built using parts originally assembled for a Royal Navy L-class submarine that was never built. During the German-led Axis invasion of Yugoslavia in April 1941, she evaded capture by Italian forces, and joined British naval forces in the Mediterranean where she performed a training role. After the war she was taken over by the new Yugoslav government and renamed Tara, but was eventually stricken in 1954, and scrapped in 1958. She is the only submarine to have been part of the Royal Yugoslav Navy during the Second World War.
She has been identified as one of the most dangerous submarines of the 20th century, and was the only one to be named after a single person. Her name was changed to Tara by the Yugoslav government after the end of the war, and she is now a museum site in Belgrade, Serbia. The submarine was built in 1927 for the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes, which later became the Royal Yugoslavia. Her design was based on that of the British L- class submarine of World War I. She had an overall length of 72. 05 metres, a beam of 7. 32 metres, and a surfaced draught of 3. 96 m.
