Gunboat Vale was a Vale-class Rendel gunboat built for the Royal Norwegian Navy at Karljohansvern Naval Yard in 1874.

Later Vale and her sister ships was rebuilt as mine layers, and she served in this role when the Germans invaded in 1940.

During the Norwegian Campaign she served mainly in the Sognefjord.

She was captured by German forces after the surrender of Norwegian forces in southern Norway, and returned to Norway after the war.
