Naval Technology - Skjold Class Missile Fast Patrol Boats The Skjold class of missile fast patrol boats is characterised by its speed, reduced signatures, small size with heavy weapon load and its littoral combat capability. The Norwegian government approved the build of five more Skjold class vessels in June 2002. The ship is armed with eight Kongsberg NSM (Nye Sjoemaals Missiler or Norwegian Strike Missile) anti-ship missiles, which have been developed for the Skjold class ships and for the Fritjof Nansen Frigates. www.naval-technology.com /projects/skjold

Wain 6 Uller, the shield (skjold) god and bow god, did not only travel on snow shoes but he also possessed magical bone ice skates on which he could fly over the sea. These have been compared to the magical flying shoes of Loki (god of winter hearthside fun and games, as well as the chaotic and terrible wild fires), who himself guided blind Hodur's use of a bow to shoot a deadly mistletoe arrow at his innocent brother Baldur. The cognate equine Ashvins of India and the equestrian Dioscuri of Greece were identified with the star sign Gemini, as was the Delphic summer-winter dyad of Apollo and Dionysus. www.buda.nildram.co.uk /~fealcen/wain6.htm   (104 words)

The Skjold class boat utilizes an an advanced GRP (glass reinforced composites) construction, designed as an air cushion-integrated catamaran design, that offers excellent cruising speed, high transit speed, and high agility in open sea and shallow-water operability. In November 2003 the Norwegian Navy ordered five Skjold class boats to join the first boat, in service since 1999, which is currently undergoing reconstruction. www.defense-update.com /products/s/skjold.htm   (104 words)

Naval Institute Proceedings Magazine: World Navies in Review, by A. D. Baker III 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. 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. www.usni.org /Proceedings/Articles98/PRObakereurope98.htm   (104 words)

Is KNM Skjold the Future of the Littoral Combat Ship? 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. 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. www.safetycenter.navy.mil /media/fathom/issues/janMar03/isskjold.htm   (104 words)

US Navy to Test Norwegian Stealth Vessels The Skjold class encompasses state of the art technology and is founded on the strong Norwegian naval experience in operating small and fast surface warships in the littorals with a heavy weapon load. The flexibility inherent in Skjold is interesting also to other navies. The US Navy had one patrol boat on loan for a year for test purposes, and the Norwegian Umoe Mandal Yard has now entered into a contract with the Navy Seals for a further study and evaluation of the suitability of the new patrol boats for US purposes. www.atsnn.com /story/141526.html   (104 words)

Surface Forces  RE:missile gun boats StrategyPage.com 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 Skjold class has 90-99 percent reduction of RCS compared with a Hauk class, depending on angle. KNM Skjold used 16 hours and 10 minutes on a trip from Bergen to Tromsoe, a distance of 730nm, using the protected waters where Norwegian FACs usually operates. www.strategypage.com /messageboards/messages/8-1872.asp   (104 words)
