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.
