Kozara's career connects a vessel built for the German Navy in 1939 with the modern Serbian river force. Between those roles, the ship housed American soldiers in Germany and served as a hotel-restaurant. As a command ship, Kozara can also transport 250 soldiers and carries a 20 mm antiaircraft gun. That command function is distinct from the flotilla's separate ceremonial flagship.
