Hauk-class patrol boat

The Hauk-class patrol boats were a series of Norwegian fast attack craft.

Designed as a development of the Storm and Snøgg classes, by Lieutenant commander (later Captain) Harald Henriksen, the 14 Hauk-class vessels made up the Coastal Combat Flotilla, responsible for protecting the rugged coastline of Norway.

The Royal Norwegian Navy deployed four of these warships for anti-terror patrol in the Strait of Gibraltar.

This modernization included incorporation of the Senit 8 CMS, Link 11 (receive only), modifications of the Penguin missiles and upgrades to the navigation equipment.

Sweden had a parallel development of their own Norwegian built patrol boats in the Hugin-class, the hulls are the same as the Hauk class.
