Hauk-class patrol boats were a series of
Norwegian fast attack craft. Hauk means hawk in Norwegian. They were
ordered in the 1970s and the first boat, Hauk, was commissioned on
17 August 1977. Designed as a development of the Storm- and
Snøgg-classes, by Lieutenant-commander (later Captain) Harald
Henriksen, the 14 Hauk class vessels made up the Coastal Combat
Flotilla, responsible for protecting the rugged coastline of Norway.
The ships were modernized frequently and in their later form were
known as "Super-Hauks." The Royal Norwegian Navy deployed four of
these warships for anti-terror patrol in the Strait of Gibraltar. To ensure that their capability met contemporary standards the Hauk class boats were modernized to Super-Hauk standard with the arrival of the new and more modern Skjold class MTBs. This modernization included incorporation of the Senit 8 CMS, Link 11 (receive only), modifications of the Penguin missiles and upgrades to the navigation equipment. International operations: The vessels were used as escort for allied vessels through the Strait of Gibraltar as part of Operation Active Endeavour. The Norwegian contribution consisted of 21 MTB Squadron and its four vessels. The squadron was stationed in Cadiz along with two Danish vessels of Flyvefisken class. The mission lasted from April to October 2003, and the vessels were widely praised for their efforts. In November 2006, the vessels were probably once called for international duty when 22 MTB squadron became part of UNIFIL II - a maritime UN contributions in the coastal area outside Lebanon that would prevent arms smuggling in the area. The vessels were stationed in Limassol in Cyprus. source: wikipedia Units / names: P 986 Hauk (hawk) - commissioned 17 August 1977 P 987 Ørn (eagle) - commissioned 19 January 1979 P 988 Terne (tern) - commissioned 13 March 1979 P 989 Tjeld (oystercatcher) - commissioned 25 May 1979 P 990 Skarv (cormorant) - commissioned 17 July 1979 P 991 Teist (black guillemot) - commissioned 11 September 1979 P 992 Jo (skua) - commissioned 1 November 1979 P 993 Lom (gaviiformes) - commissioned 15 January 1980 P 994 Stegg (grouse) - commissioned 18 March 1980 P 995 Falk (falcon) - commissioned 30 April 1980 P 996 Ravn (raven) - commissioned 20 May 1980 P 997 Gribb (vulture) - commissioned July 1980 P 998 Geir (great auk) - commissioned 16 September 1980 P 999 Erle (wagtail) - commissioned 10 December 1980 All boats were decommissioned by 2008 NOTE: In Norwegian, Royal Norwegian Navy vessels are given the prefix "KNM", short for Kongelige Norske Marine (Royal Norwegian Ship) - or in English 'HNoMS' for His Norwegian Majesty's Ship |
