The Montenegrin Navy (Montenegrin: Mornarica Vojske Crne Gore) is the naval branch of the military of Montenegro.
The Montenegrin Navy was established in 2006 following the secession of Montenegro from the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro. Nearly all of the navy's equipment was inherited from the armed forces of the State Unionβas Montenegro contained the entire coastline of the former union, it retained practically the entire naval force. A large part of the aforementioned equipment has however been retired.
