	Norwegian FPB history
		During WW 1 Norway was neutral and the ageing fleet of 32 torpedo boats had a major role in maintaining the neutrality along the 2200 km.
		The old fleet of torpedo boats was supplied with three new larger torpedo boats with a displacement of 260 tons and a speed of 25 knots.
		The new Skjold class FPB would hopefully be a worthy inheritor for the accumulated experience from Rap to HNoMS Skjold.

	Is KNM Skjold the Future of the Littoral Combat Ship?
		With its light weight and two lift fans for SES operation, Skjold can lift about 70 percent of her weight out of the water, yet keep some "keel" in the water via her two hulls.
		While unarmed during its American naval lease, Skjold is designed to carry two quad, anti-ship-missile launchers; a 76 mm, rapid-fire gun; and a two-round, point-defense, surface-to-air missile launcher.
		State-of-the-art weapons and technology aboard Skjold will be supplemented with up-to-date training based on the developing concepts of littoral warfighting, something with which the Norwegian navy is quite familiar.

		The prototype for a 173-ton minesweeper based on a fishing boat design was to have been completed at Korcula in May 1997, but year's end had brought no news even of its launching, while work on a planned third 880-ton Silba-class minelayer/landing ship at Split has not yet begun.
		Both classes would be capable of carrying two helicopters and up to seven weapon or sensor modules, and all six would be rapidly adaptable as minelayers.
		The other new class, whose design was derived from lessons in signature reduction learned in the construction and operation of the trials craft Smyge (now employed as a public relations and recruiting platform), has been a quartet of 200-ton inshore mine countermeasures craft.
