Okay, I completely missed this piece of information (when it came out).
Here: http://jdw.janes.com/public/jdw/index.shtml, it reports that Libya has bought two patrol boats, built in Croatia, for its "newly-established" coast guard.
I'd always assumed that the Libyans already had a coast guard.
It doesn't seem to be spending up big, though, so amybe it's not going to be a major force in the area.
Any thoughts?
