 The purpose and role of the Croatian Navy (HRM) is to defend the integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Croatia independently and in joint action with other services, to promote and protect its interest in the Adriatic Sea, islands and coast-lands. It carries and organises the naval defence of the Republic of Croatia and has an important role in the total state's military power. The Croatian Navy fulfils its role by preparing itself and carrying out the following main tasks:
- Deterring the threat to the Republic of Croatia by maintaining high level of competence, training and technical quality of equipment
- Constant control of the Adriatic Sea and coast-land and monitoring of foreign war ships' movement
- Strengthening of the safety conditions on the Adriatic Sea and preserving the integrity of the maritime borders
- Implementation of the program "Partnership for Peace in the Mediterranean"
Within the scope of command and in the defence responsibility over the area, the Croatian Navy has the territorial sea, islands, internal sea and offshore zone over which the Republic of Croatia realises a complete sovereignty and sovereign rights of exploiting the offshore and the seabed, pursuant to provisions of the Constitution and The Maritime Code. Within its responsibility and beyond in the Adriatic Sea it has to be compatible and ready for accepting, supporting and co-operating with the international combined Multinational Joint Task Forces (CTJF) and to be equipped and trained for tasks within CJTF.
