(Europa) Norwegische Streitkräfte

[Broensen]

A focus is placed on the ASW-role.

Das steht immer wieder falsch in den diversen Berichten und hatten wir hier auch schon: Es soll auf den Schiffen ASW-Helikopter geben, die Schiffe sollen aber vollumfänglich Fähigkeiten haben und eben keinen ASW-Schwerpunkt. Das würde auch im Gesamtgefüge von P8, U212CD und dem Rest der Flotte gar keinen Sinn ergeben.

Hier die entsprechende Stelle aus dem "Norwegian defence pledge":

Fleet plan 2024: Strengthening the Navy
Norway has considerable maritime interests across vast ocean areas, with significant value creation in the maritime sector. In order to promote Norwegian security interests, the maritime domain is prioritised through major investments in new and increased capabilities.
• To maintain continuous situational awareness and posture in Norwegian areas of interest, a minimum of five blue water frigates capable of contributing in the full spectrum of maritime operations will be procured. The frigates will be acquired, operated, and maintained in partnership with a close ally.
• Maritime helicopters with anti-submarine warfare capability will be procured to operate as part of the frigate system.
• A standardised class of vessels in two sizes will be developed and procured to fulfill the missions of the Navy and the Coast Guard.
• Four new submarines have already been approved for procurement in cooperation with Germany. The government recommends acquiring at least one additional submarine.
