The Lithuanian Navy is the maritime warfare branch of the Lithuanian Armed Forces, tasked with defending Lithuania's territorial waters and exclusive economic zone in the Baltic Sea. Its primary responsibilities include coastal surveillance, maritime search and rescue, pollution control, and mine countermeasure operations. Originally established in 1935 with the flagship warship 'Prezidentas Smetona', the navy was dissolved during the Soviet occupation and officially re-established on July 4, 1992, following the restoration of independence.
