MSA Koraaga (1185) was an auxiliary minesweeper operated by the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). Launched in 1973 as Grozdana A., the vessel was operated commercially as a tuna-fishing boat until she was acquired under the RAN's Craft of Opportunity Program for use as an auxiliary. During military service, she had a crew of nine.
Koraaga was sold for A$170,000 during a public auction in April 2000, to Klokan Fishing of Nelson Bay, New South Wales.
