Operation Petticoat.

Wonder what the premium is for a frigate?

[Still Thinking]

Are they saying that women can’t drive?

[blueunicorn6]

Oh, those unintended consequences.

Something similar happened on a US Navy ship incident recently. I remember reading something about how some of the female officers on duty were not talking to each other and it contributed to the collision.

[broken_clock]

Isn’t this a similar situation to the USS Fitzgerald where the female officer of the deck and the navigator weren’t speaking to each other?

[P.O.E.]

Were they trying to parallel park the thing?

“Cost the Norwegian Navy its entire annual budget”

Uff da!

[Rummyfan]

In the Norwegian magazine.. stated that “Four out of five navigators on frigate KNM Helge Ingstad are women“.

Hmmm.....

[Fai Mao]

“five top modern frigates”

What is a ‘top modern’?

[Midwesterner53]

I believe several key people in both US Navy collisions were also female and they escaped with minimal punishment.

“Since the oil companies pay 78 percent taxes to the state”

Yep. walked off a job in Norwegian waters one time because of that.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

This is what happens when gender takes priority over merit.

[alternatives?]

I assume the ship will have almost no salvage value given all the electronics are under water.

“Four out of five navigators on frigate KNM Helge Ingstad are women“

Therefore, this was obviously the man's fault.

Who was Helge Ingsted?

Helge Marcus Ingstad was a Norwegian explorer. After mapping some Norse settlements, Ingstad and his wife Anne Stine, an archaeologist, in 1960 found remnants of a Viking settlement in L’Anse aux Meadows in the province of Newfoundland in Canada.

The unfortunate frigate was one of the Fridtjof Nansen Class: Fridtjof Nansen-class ​​​​The frigates are equipped to fight in all maritime warfare areas, anti-aircraft, at the surface and under water. From 2015, the frigates will be supplemented with NH90 helicopters. This will make the frigates more flexible, also when it comes to participating in national and international operations. The last of five frigate​s was handed over to the Navy in January 2011. The five frigates are: KNM Fridtjof Nansen, KNM Roald Amundsen, KNM Otto Sverdrup, KNM Helge Ingstad and KNM Thor Heyerdahl.​ Manufacturer: Navantia Armament: Evolved Sea Sparrow-missile (ESSM) with Vertical Launcher System (VLS), new sea missiles (NSM), Sting Ray torpedoes, OTO Melara cannon, depth charges Dimensions: 134 metres (length) – 16.8 metres (width) – 31 metres (max height) – 7.6 metres (draught)​ Displacement: 5,290 tonnes Crew: 120+ Speed: 26 knots Published 11 June 2015 13:39.
