“Norwegian Coast Guard vessel KV Hopen”

Norwegian Coast Guard vessel KV Hopen during its visit to Nova Scotia. Port of Sydney photo.

Ran across this photo today on Facebook. It provides a different view of a Jan Mayen class ice strengthened Offshore Patrol Vessel. Pictures taken during construction of  Jan Mayen here.

These are big ships, 9,800 tons standard, 136.4 m (447 ft 6 in), and have hangar space for two medium size helicopters. That is a 57mm gun on the bow. Crew is only 100.
