During the Croatian War of Independence, Mukos was part of a tactical group tasked with enforcing a naval blockade of the city of Split.

Šolta was laid down as Mukos (PČ-176) in the Kraljevica Shipyard as the sixth ship in a class of patrol boats that were being built for the Yugoslav Navy (JRM).

[5][6] In November 1991, during the Croatian War of Independence, Mukos was part of the "Kaštela" tactical group that was tasked with enforcing a naval blockade of the port of Split and the surrounding islands.

On 14 November, at around 17:30, while on patrol in the Split strait between the islands of Brač and Šolta, Mukos was hit with an improvised torpedo launched by special forces of the Croatian Navy (HRM), effectively starting the Battle of the Dalmatian Channels.

As Yugoslav forces left the area, the ship was towed to an overhauling shipyard in Šibenik on the night of 17/18 November, after being salvaged by HRM divers with the help of Brodospas.
