Wow thats pretty impressive driving that. Amazing shots. Looks pretty expensive to me 😮

Or hit the rocks when they were nearly completely submerged at high tide and was truly stuck there at low tide when most of the images were taken.

There is an image of a Norwegian Hauk class fast attack boat in a similar position on another forum btw.

Whoa mate when you told me she’d run around I thought “oh yeah she’s logded herself on a sand bar”, but this is spectacular.

She must have been doing some speed to get so far up there like that.

It has since been dragged off and sailed to a nearby port (or base?) for inspection.

According to news reports I have seen she has sailed to Haakonsvern (near Bergen), the main base of the RNoN, for closer inspections.

Due to steel-hulled nature and shock resistance requirements that MCM entails the damage may be not that bad. However, that non-magnetic steel may be tricky to repair and weld.

Tie it down with cables fastened to anchor bolts sunk into the rock, and mount the new navigation beacon on the bow or atop the deckhouse.
😀

Strip it of equipment and leave it there as a curiosity- it just looks great like that!:D

The hull may well be intact, but I wonder how much ‘hogging’ stress has been inflicted on the keel and mounting points for machinery?

I think, despite the seemingly superficial visable damage, that this will be expensive to repair.

So Norway, thanks Bager. Must be Murphy’s Law that due to a navigation error, it destoys a navigation beacon. After three attempts, the ship is still firmly attached to the rock.

The damage doesn’t look as severe as one might expect – perhaps because this ship is steel hulled, not fiberglass!

Where and when?
