Yes, a very attractive little ship, and great to see it represented at last
. My only query so far is with the screws: they just seem a little small?

My favorite Norwegian War Ships. It is small and has good seakeeping. But lacking a bit of speed (22 knots), thanks to a government they had in the 60's that want to save money. the boat was originally designed around 10 meters longer than when it was built. which gave a speed lost around 5-7 knots! otherwise a small - large ships. It had its weaknesses, especially against air attacks, but it was a dangerous against U-boat, when it was build. But the Oslo class took over the that, when they got an upgrade that Sleipner did not get! Attachment: Sleipner class.png

Very nice. I've always been struck by this neat little corvette since I was a boy and there was a great close-up picture of her in a book, which I've still got. She looks a little top heavy but then she's packing a punch for her size. |

She was the also called seasickness ship. You know well why...

Allways had a liking to these, and as Bill said, the screws do seem too small. Also I would suggest doing a new 3"/50 mounting as it was a single, as was the 40mm mounting aft. I also wonder as to the difference between the two versions - to me they look the same  apart from the caption that says 1988.

That's because that's how they looked in 1988 but not how they looked when they were build |

during the update it got some new radars and Terne III MK8 ASW on the aft deck. But for some reason did not get a new sonar. It was also used as training ship after the update, possibly as a training ship for new crews to the Oslo-class, as they have roughly the same equipment. And for the cannon, yes I'll draw it. 76 mm (3 in) Bofors gun TAK 76 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleipner_class_corvette |
