Seems a passenger ship that was employed by Yugoslav Navy. [attachment=1] Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mysteries Post by: ZastavnikDjemo on September 05, 2009, 02:16:04 pm Well, this seems to one of the coastal passenger steamers that belonged to the Adriatic Navigation Co. (Jadranska Plovidba). At the beginning of April 1941, some of them were ordered to sail into Boka Kotorska bay, where they were placed at the disposal of the navy. I think that this is the SS Ljubljana, since the other two similar coastal steamers, the Prestolonaslednik Petar and Karađorđe were sunk in an accident, a week before the Axis attack on Yugoslavia.
sds. :) Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mysteries Post by: Dili on September 05, 2009, 03:01:25 pm It is possible, the hull fits. Below as Salona. But the upper works had to change a lot.
Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mysteries Post by: ZastavnikDjemo on September 05, 2009, 03:10:46 pm Well, the superstructure did change a lot. :)
Additional space for passengers was built, the stern mast remained, but the crane was removed, and the bridge was elevated. Ljubljana was sunk by a mine in 1945, off the town of Bakar. Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mysteries Post by: Dili on September 05, 2009, 05:16:53 pm Okay, thanks :)
Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mysteries Post by: Dreadnought on September 05, 2009, 06:26:25 pm The ship is SS"Kumanovo" of "Dubrovačka plovidba" company ... It was captured by Italians in April 1941 and sunk'd in 1944 near Siracuse ...
[attachment=1] Before the end of 30-is the funnel was replaced with lesser one ... Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mysteries Post by: ZastavnikDjemo on September 05, 2009, 06:38:21 pm I see, so I was wrong. But they look similar, so I was confused a bit.

Owner Dubrovačka plovidba d.d. The main units of Jadranska plovidba d.d. in same time was berthed in port of Split.
Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mysteries Post by: Dreadnought on September 05, 2009, 08:15:42 pm Ship S/S Kralj Aleksandar had different stern from the ship on the picture ... but it is very similar ship.
S/S Kralj Aleksandar [attachment=1] S/S Kumanovo [attachment=2] I have lots of photos of these ships, but I have't scanned any of them with the good look on the stern of Kralj Aleksandar. I saw a comment about this picture of ABG forum and I think there is a wrong ship identified in foto ... Title: Re: Royal Yugoslav navy mysteries Post by: Dreadnought on September 05, 2009, 08:25:47 pm Here are the outstanding similarity ...
