some Norwegian Navy sailing ship etc.

Quote:

The first "Norske Løve" was built at thenaval dockyard at Engelsborg at Slotø (Castle Island) in Nakskov Fjord. She was build according David Balfours drawings by the scotsman Daniel Sinclair, who was shipbuilder for King Christian IV. "Norske Løve" was build from 1631 to 1634, and send in service 1635.
"Norske Løve" was active the next twelve year and participated in several seebattles. Amongst them the Battle in Listerdyb May 16th 1644, the seebattle at Kolberger Heide Juli 1st 1644 and in the blockade of Goetenborg in 1645. She was laid up in 1653, but there are some conflicting informations which confuse it with another "Norske Løve", who was launched in Lübeck in 1654. This one had the same size, crew and armament. Some history claims that "Norske Løve" from Slotø should have continued in service until 1666, where she went down in a storm south of Stavanger (Norway).
But the same fate happened to "Norske Løve" from Lübeck. In the same storm!

See my answer above. The ship underwent what in those days was called a "Great Repair" - hence it was the same ship!

I have another example how dasdardly difficult it can be to separate these events sometimes, especially with scant written documentation remaining, or outright falsified or otherwise tempered documentation.

In 1610, the English commissioned the big three-decker "Prince Royal", which then was about 115 ft on the keel and armed with 56 guns. However, by 1663, her keel had increased to a whopping 131 ft! Her armament had also increased to 92 guns!

If you don't follow the full track of every "rebuild" or "Great Repair" as they most commonly were called, then you'd get the impression that it was an entirely different ship! Norske Løve was only another example of this phenomenon.
