Hauk class patrol boat

Hauk class patrol boat

"Hauk" class patrol boats are a series of Norwegian fast attack craft. "Hauk" means hawk in Norwegian. Designed as a development of the Storm- and Snøgg-class, by Lieutenant-commander (later Captain) Harald Henriksen. The 14 "Hauk" class vessels make up the Coastal Combat flotilla, responsible for protecting the rugged Norwegian coastline. The ships are continuously modernized and are today known as "Super-"Hauks"." The Royal Norwegian Navy deployed four of these warships for anti-terror patrol in the Strait of Gibraltar.

The "Hauk" class ships have been modernized to meet the arrival of the new and more modern "Skjold" class MTBs. This modernization includes the Senit 8 CMS, Link 11 (receive only), modifications of the Penguin missiles and upgrades to the navigation equipment.
