The Norwegian K class submarines are a class of three submarines the Royal Norwegian Navy received from Germany in 1948 as Allied war spoils.

The ships were named HNoMS Kya (ex-U-926), Kinn (ex-U-1202), and Kaura (ex-U-995).

Kaura was returned to Germany in 1971 as a museum ship.

The German type VIIC/41 was a slightly modified version of the successful VIIC and had the same armament and engines.

The difference was a stronger pressure hull and lighter machinery to compensate for the added steel in the hull, making them actually slightly lighter than the VIIC.
