This thread is based on the link belkow from our old home....

Watching BBC Education right now and a programme about space accidends. Today their talking about Apollo 13, and showing pictures with the three survivor astronauts coming back and set foot on the deck of USS Iwo Jima.
That reminded me of MY first encounter with this "famous" carrier, when she anchored a couple of miles east of our summerhouse in Tingvoll in 1980.

Interesting image of a ship that really looks a bit macho to my eyes: like a bodybuilder at the gym...

Small naval attack/assault vessel "Hårek" in Kristiansund
SHV=SjøHeimeVernet (Like a National Guard of the seas)

"Ramnes" was the former main vessel of the SHV in Kristiansund.
It's whereabouts right now, I don't know (and that's rather unusaul for me...)


And in 2005 we had an unusual visit here. This is "Triton" which some say is a research vessel.
The colour, crew uniforms and type of flag led me to suspect that it at least has something to do with the british Royal Navy....

I'm surprised all you seafaring-types haven't said anything about the commissioning of the new US Navy aircraft carrier USS George H.W. Bush last Saturday

http://www.nn.northropgrumman.com/bush/

and here's the wikipedia link

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Geo...._Bush_(CVN-77)

My first reaction was typical for a girl..."oohhh" and "shinyyyyy"-----

I must say I loved that comment: here are us guys talking about horsepower, sizes (man's ultimate obsession?), lengths and weights, and then in the middle of it: a refreshing and very lovely comment.... "ooohhh" and "shiny".... Loved the refreshment!

Came across this image on the net..

This looks way more serious than a typical fire drill.. could anyone fill me in on any further details what was going on?

[Sterkoder]

You're right, that's not an ordinary fire drill....., it's a huge fire on board one of the Royal Norwegian Navy minesweepers a few years back.
I see it before me, but I can't find the article right now....
The fire broke out in the visinity of Ålesund.
The ship was badly damaged, but are now rebuilt and back in service.
Sorry, can't remember the year or the name....

Coast Guard vessel Senja spent some time drifting around my island a few days ago, no idea what they were up to:

Hiding the first easter eggs??
Be careful when you go out fishing there.

It seems odd to see a naval/coast guard vessel in gray with a glow in the dark orange lifeboat.

[Sterkoder]

Anyone up for playing Admiral on your own navy vessel....???

The Royal Norwegian Navy will put up for auction their two remaining minesweepers at an asking price of NOK 1,-.
Of course they hope to get as much money as possible, but they've already taken out the engines and used spare parts.
Other than that, the vessels are in mint condition. They have a fully operational kitchen and accommodation for up to 40 people. (The new CV-vessel...., maybe.... (haha)) .

The two concerning are KNM Oksøy and KNM Glomma, and the latter has only had 25 sailing days since she left the shipyard in 1997....

Here's a link to the norwegian tv-station TV2 http://www.tv2nyhetene.no/innenriks/article2557579.ece

Methinks we have found the captain's new ship!!! Only, how does one plan on manouvering it, with no engine???????

Where would you like it delivered, Captain Storli???

[Sterkoder]

Oh, you know...., that's not of the RNoNavy's concern. They needed the engines as spares, and they don't care how the new owners will manouver their vessels.

But if one got a 7-figure norwegian kroner amount of money, one can always buy new ones and have a company install'em...

O'hoy, I see the $-sign flash before my eyes...

No comment.... but it would be nice as head office and apartment for me I guess.

So, where do I go on the net to find the online-auction?
