Glommen class minesweeper
- Glommen class minesweeper
The "Glommen"-class was a class of two diminutive minelayers built for the Royal Norwegian Navy during World War I at Akers Mekasniske Verksted in Oslo.
ervice history and fate
The two rather small vessels were kept in service until the German invasion in 1940. Glommen and Laugen operated in the area around Melsomvik, and surrendered to the Germans on 14 April 1940. The Germans rebuilt both of them as floating flak batteries, and renamed them Nki-01 and Nki-02. Glommen was scuttled at Kirkenes by the retreating Germans in 1944, while Laugen was returned to the Norwegian Navy in 1945, and decommissioned and sold for NOK 23.100 [http://www.warsailors.com/phorum/read.php?f=1&i=1707&t=1707] in 1950.
