The Oslo-class frigate is a Royal
Norwegian Navy frigate design, based on the US Navy Dealey-class
destroyer escorts. The forward hull was customized to suit Norwegian
sea conditions better (higher freeboard) and several sub-systems
were European built. In the late 1970s, the class received new armament, most notably Penguin, RIM-7 Sea Sparrow and Mark 32 torpedo launchers. Another modernization was carried out in the 1980s. During 1995 and 1996, after HNoMS Oslo experienced an engine failure, and subsequently sank after sailing in heavy weather, the rest of the class was once again modernized. The hulls were strengthened, which in turn increased the displacement with 200 tonnes. Terne is a Norwegian anti-submarine weapon system, which uses rocket-thrown depth charges. A Terne III weapon system consists of a search & track sonar, a fire-control system and the rocket launchers, which can store six salvos of six rockets each. The rocket itself, is a depth charge with multiple fusing modes (preset time after water entry, proximity, or contact), which is propelled through the air by a solid-fueled rocket motor. When the sonar detects a target, the fire-control system can fire a rocket salvo to place a string of depth charges 18 m (20 yd) apart, perpendicular to the target's course. source: wikipedia |
