HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen will be sendt to Gulf of Aden, 6. June 2013.

The Norwegian frigate to lead the Nato force down there.

Chief of the Force will be Commodore Henning Amundsen


He do looks like one of those old Norwegian man you often see on Pictures!

One can only hope that this deployment will lead to the first words out the pirates mouths being "HOLY CRAP - VIKINGS! RUN AWAY!"

Well, both the Danish and the Swedish navies have been playing around down there. In fact, Denmark was one of the first to deploy a ship there.

HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen have been down there before, and we have had Orion's deployed down there to.

Wonder if the Norwegians will see a single pirate. Maybe they should cruise within sight of shore and modify their ship to resemble their viking ancestors...

oh they wi see some pirates. But that with help of their 60 knots small boats. and perhaps with Helicopters, if they come along.

Last time they did only use a couple ff days to find a mother ship.

Yes, I know. I was trying to be funny. I failed, it seems.

Ah yes, we're sending down a frigate that doesn't really work (word of warning: NEVER buy Spanish ships unless you want them to be dockqueens), without a helicopter(!!), commanded by the RNoN's variant of General Melchett. In other words, great success!

NATO ships come and go, pirates stay.
