HNoMS Kvikk (P984) was a Royal Norwegian Navy fast patrol boat (FPB) of the Snøgg class which was built in 1970, taken out of service in 1994 and scrapped in 1996.
The boat gained a lot of media attention in the so called Kvikk case, due to claims that an abnormally high number of the children of the men who had served on the boat were born with club foot or other congenital disorders.
Among other equipment, she received an extra RF transmitter aft rated at 750 watts and a powerful radar, which was actively used in exercises and tests.

However, the investigation of the case was set to continue until 2006, and the RNoN is working on new guidelines for radiation aboard their vessels.
