Norway has officially decided to scrap its F313 frigate KNM « Helge Instad » instead of repairing her, the Norwegian government confirmed on June, 21.

Crews have completed the raising and salvage of the Royal Norwegian Navy (Sjøforsvaret) frigate HNoMS Helge Ingstad four months after its collision and sinking. With the vessel back in port, and out of the water, the Norwegian Navy said that a lot of work remains.
