KNM "Helge Ingstad" collided on November 8, 2018 with a tanker in Øygarden and was partially sunk with major damage. With this, only three out of five frigates are capable of sailing by November 2018.
KNM «Thor Heyerdahl» is a Norwegian frigate of the Fridtjof Nansen class. It was handed over to the Armed Forces from the Spanish Navantia Shipyard in January 2011.
