The Skjold class

Skjold class was original designed with the Bofors 57mm Stealth. They was also build to carry Torpedoes either in the mission bay or in a separate room, she will with help of Link 11 and Link 16 have communication with Helicopters and other surface ships to coordinate it's torpedo attack. With help of link 16 will for example the Fridtjof Nansen Frigate take full control of the Skjold class weapon system, with help of the link 16 Skjold class will also function as a early/forward warning system for Fridtjof Nansen frigate. That means Fridtjof Nansen combat system will have full access to Skjold class radar and use it to track enemy missile or ships and can attack at long range. After some testing of prototype Skjold, there was decide to make her wider to increase its lift capacity. The engine combination of Jet turbines and Diesel engine was changed to four Jet Engine (two High speed, two cruise) but she has diesel generators for producing power to lift fan.

KNM Skjold Prototype. Note KNM Skjold did also use Oto Melara Mk75 compact during testing.


Skjold class Camo. after 2003


Skjold as Littoral combat ship, Main task is to bring special forces in to a area fast and undetected.



I can not guarantee the accuracy of the radar but it is designed to fit in the drawing of the Skjold class, like it has been seen on many pictures of Skjold class.

These are pretty awesome; nice job, heuhen!
Although it's a bit odd that the camo is not shown on the top and front views.

Nice, but shading... even when we use camoflage patterns, we need to remember shading. Your upper works have the same shade of the colors as you use in the hull

Oh I forgot the shading in the mast!

since the side wiew is standard I gave that one camo. but give me a day!

I mean mostly in the pattern that continues from the hull to the superstructure... its in same shade in both, despite it should be darker for the hull.

Good drawings of the best, the fastest and most undetectable warship that ever sailed the sea. This one has tha same anti-ship firepower as the Fridtjof Nansen class frigate.

It has that, below that 3 px black line there is darker shade than above, but perhaps you mean it should be a bit darker.

the orginal idea of the two shades was to segerate the superstructure from the hull, expecially when they differ lot in the beam. and in this desing the width of the superstructure combared to the ultimate beam of the hull is even more prominent than in usuall.
