HNoMS Valkyrien

HNoMS Valkyrien

HNoMS Valkyrien, HNoMS Valkyrjen (in Norwegian the prefix KNM is used) has been the name of several ships in the Royal Norwegian Navy. Most of them have been in some way connected to the navy's torpedo boats. The name honours the valkyries of norse mythology. It has also been said that the ships have been given this name in honour of all women. Some of the ships:

*The Dano-Norwegian gunship "Valkyrien". Launched March 10 1810. Decommissioned in December 1814.
*HNoMS Valkyrjen - Launched 1896.
*HNoMS Valkyrien (1953-1963) - Formerly know as the passengership MS Polarlys.
*HNoMS Valkyrien (1965-1977) - Formerly known as HMCS "Toronto" and HNoMS Gorm.
*HNoMS Valkyrien (1994-present) - The present support vessel for the Coastal Combat Flotilla.
