Snøgg class patrol boat

Snøgg class patrol boat

The "Snøgg" class was a Royal Norwegian Navy class of fast patrol boats (FPB). It might also be classified as a torpedo boat or a missile boat. In Norway this type of vessel is called a missile torpedo boat (missiltorpedobåt) or MTB. Six vessels were built during 1970 and 1971 to replace the ageing "Rapp" class. Designed by Lieutenant-commander (later Captain) Harald Henriksen as a development of the Storm-class. None of the vessels are left in Norwegian service today, they have been succeeded by the "Hauk" and "Skjold" class. The class was named after its lead vessel, "Snøgg", which is a Norwegian word meaning "fast". All of the subsequent names are synonyms of "fast".
