HNoMS Helge Ingstad (F 313): Built by the Spanish shipbuilders Navantia in Ferrol, Galicia, Helge Ingstad was the fourth of the Fridtjof Nansen class to be launched and then commissioned into the Royal Norwegian Navy. From December 2013 to May 2014, Helge Ingstad was one of the escort ships for merchant vessels carrying chemical weapons from Syria to be destroyed. On 8 November 2018, while returning from NATO exercises Trident Juncture 2018, she collided with the 250-metre (820 ft) Maltese-flagged oil tanker Sola TS and began taking on water. The ship was deliberately grounded in an attempt to prevent her foundering and allow for the evacuation of the crew. Seven sailors were injured in the incident and by late morning she had developed a severe list to starboard with most of the stern submerged. In the early hours of 13 November, the vessel sank with only smaller sections of the superstructure remaining above water. This is the first incident of such scale in the Royal Norwegian Navy since 1994, when HNoMS Oslo was lost after it ran aground. |
