The Fridtjof Nansen is a class of anti-submarine warfare frigates of the Royal Norwegian Navy. Nonetheless, the anti-aircraft capabilities of the Fridtjof Nansen allow Norway to describe warships of the class as multi-role frigates.
This type of frigates gained its prominence among the international audience when the KNM Helge Ingstad collided with a Maltese-registered oil tanker, Sola, and de-facto sink as a result of the incident. Later, the warship was recovered but with the cost of repair prohibitive it has been decommissioned and will be scrapped.
