The Royal Norwegian Navy "Fridtjof Nansen" class multipurpose frigate
Article Abstract:
The 'Fridtjof Nansen' class multipurpose frigates for the Norwegian Navy, likely to enter service between 2006 and 2009, are a derivative of the Spanish F-100 AEGIS- equipped air defense frigates. Equipped with a state-of-the art platform and combat system, and producing low acoustic, magnetic and radar signatures, these frigates are expected to be assets to the Norwegian Navy to undertake a modified and modern role in the defense of Norway and in operations abroad.
