Czechoslovak Naval Forces
The Czechoslovak Naval Forces (Československé válečné loďstvo) were the naval arm of the former Czechoslovak state. Czechoslovakia being landlocked and with no large rivers flowing through it (the Danube formed a small part of its border), its naval forces were small and consisted only of riverine craft operating on the Danube (and briefly on the upper Elbe).
