That's a mean looking ship! The Fridtjof Nansen, the Hamina and the Visby protecting Scandinavia. I pity the fool who tries to enter scandinavian water.
Cool video. It really wrecked that drone; however, I'd have loved to have seen a kill shot. Also, subs would be nice for those ignorant Americans among us (me) :)
wait 1 sec greenland was owned by norway but in 13th century denmark took it in kalmar union.
also morway has 4 times more sea to guard than our country.
also queen maud land is 2,1million km2 and other islands like svalbard makes norway 8 biggest country in the world if we count them in. Greenland is just as big as queen maud land
More than 300 engineers spent more than a million work hours to redesign it to the Nansen class. So it's far from a spanish frigate, although it is based on it.
@Vacceo89 Nothing about this ship is spanish, exept for the hull. All the sensors, radars, electronics are american, french and norwegian. The main weaon system is norwegian (NSM). And why is the f-100 much better? KNM Nansen has superior missils, with stealth and greater range. Also the ship it self has better stealth. The radar system on F-100 are larger, but aslo older. I really cant see any advanteges for the F-100. And nothing that is spanish, exept the hull.
@Tordenguden They are different ships with different specifications. Norway needs a ship to control its intricate coasts, Spain needs a ship for open sea
I don't care that they havent been built in Norway. But we don't buy new large stuff like this often enough. And when we first buy, we buy crap... And btw, the HDMS Absalon isn't a "super" frigate. It's a suppoert ship, but itæs still better armed than The Norwegian frigates.

Why don't Norwegians built their own navy :).
btw you should check out Denmark's super frigate HMS Absalon. It's more advanced or more and better heavy ranged. And it's not Spanish build but Danish build.
I'd like to see proof that the Absalon is "more advanced" etc, considering that the Fridtjof Nansen even has the AEGIS-system, so far only used by the US, Japan, Spain, Norway and South Korea. The Norwegian coastline is among the longest and most rugged in the world and Norwegian waters are far bigger than the Danish ones, so I doubt that the Danish navy would have more capable frigates than the Norwegian one.
Well that would explain why there are only two vessels of the Absalon-class but five vessels of the AEGIS Fridtjof Nansen class :P
You do realize that - on top of the long Norwegian coastline, Norway also has Jan Mayen, Bear Island, Svalbard, Bouvet Island etc in their territories as well as the dependencies of Queen Maud Laund in the Antarctic? Darn, and give us back Greenland, ya thieving Danes! =P

So what more of Absalon class is on it's way. It's a very new and modern frigate. Only has the best wepons and equiptments on it.
Denmark is more surrounded by water than Norway is and Greenland is a massive island on the size of Europe. And it has never belonged to Norway you litle pathetic dreaming patriot. I have no idea what bouvet and bear island is haha. Who cares about some unknown islands.
@Snekkersen You are a true expert LOL. What specifications have to do with warship? Do some research and find out how in international law a "warship" is defined.
@filmidioten Every country asks for ships according to the needs, the coast Norway is complex, and his " historical enemy " they have been the Russian SSBN in his exit for the Baltic one, with these new noses, which power is the antisubmarine war (more strong than F-100, type 45, Zeven Provincien, etc.) the aptitude to chase and destroy SSBN increases beyond of the coasts, because the AEGIS+ESSM provides him with great capacity of self-defense and escort, but priority is antisubmarine war.
Ummm. No? The Spanish built it, but after pecifications given by the military. The actual combat fitting of the craft is being done in Norway. And fact is that Norwegian STA missile systems are the most advanced in the world
An Aegis system..Excellent..Long Live Norway..

Good Spanish frigates.
Spain makes the best ships, although some of its technology is american (AEGIS).
The rest of its technology is Spanish.
But the F-100 are much better.......

Absalon is much stronger than fridjof nansen. And absalon use some of the newest radar and sensor equipment from the same company who built to JSF.
The Danish navy guarding a allot larger area than Norway, considering the oversea islands.

Did you know that the last true danish king died in 1278, and that DK became a Norwegian dependency at that point?
Go check your history books, retard.
