A heartbreaking look at the HNoMS Helge Ingstad (F313) after being salvaged. The modern Norwegian frigate suffered catastrophic hull damage in a collision, and the cost of repair was so great that the government declared it a total loss. A poignant end for a powerful warship. 🇳🇴 #HelgeIngstad #NavalDisaster #WarshipDamage #Frigate #Norway #MilitaryHistory | Phanith Media

The grim reality of modern naval disaster. The HNoMS Helge Ingstad (F313) is moored after being raised from the fjord. The catastrophic damage and resulting rust show why the Norwegian government deemed the warship a "constructive total loss" and decided to scrap it. #NavalDisaster #HelgeIngstad #WarshipDamage #Frigate #Norway #Salvage #MilitaryHistory | Phanith Media
