		The Fridtjof Nansen-class frigate is specially built for operations in Norwegian waters, and the vessels are to be robust enough to be able to handle arctic waters.
		The responsibility for the construction and equipping of the new frigates, as well as communicating with the Izar shipyards in Spain and various subcontractors falls on the Norwegian Defence Logistical Organisation.
		Even though the KNM Fridtjof Nansen, the first of the five new frigates to be completed, is not to be operational for several years, the key crewmembers of the frigate will be assembled in August on the KNM Horten.

		The Hauk class is a very familiar sight along the Norwegian coast, and they often take part in SAR operations, and other civilian tasks.
		I think it would be wrong to build a large vessel, and loose many of the advantages you have with a Skjold class vessel, just to be able to operate the few days a year at some parts of the coast, where a Skjold class could have difficulties with the weather.
		The support infrastructure for the USN Pegasus class was for example, quite massive and extensive given the limited size and capability of the force.
