HNoMS Bergen (pennant number F301) was an Oslo-class frigate of the Royal Norwegian Navy.
She was launched on 23 August 1965, and commissioned on 22 June 1967. She was decommissioned on 3 August 2005 and broken up in March 2013 at Svolvaer. [1]
HNoMS Bergen was decommissioned in June 2005 and replaced by HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen. Its final voyage was a visit to Oslo during the centennial celebration of the dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden. The vessel was subsequently used as an office building at Haakonsvern naval base. In September 2007, the ship was towed to Ramsund Naval Base to be used as a target ship. [2]
In September 2025, she was sunk off Andøya during testing of the precision weapon Quick Sink delivered from a B-2 bomber. [3] [4]
