Summary/Abstract: The Kingdom of Yugoslavia didn’t have a very developed military- -technological cooperation with USA. The reasons were manifold, and probably the most important one was that USA had nothing to offer to Yugoslavia until the beginning of the war. Interestingly, the ? rst combat means in the armament of the Army of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia was the river vedetta B1 which was entered into the ” eet list of the Yugoslav Navy immediately after it was formed in 1923. It was erased from the ” eet list on July 13, 1929. The vedette B1 was built in 1916 in the American ship-yard of the Ellco company and served in the French ” eet until 1923, marked B5. American ship-yards took part at the international tender published for building two submarines in the winter of 1926/7, but they failed.
