- The government said the revised order will cost 46 billion crowns, with two of the four submarines under construction and the first expected in 2029, while Norway will fund a second German production line.
- Earlier this week, the United Kingdom and Norway agreed to operate a joint fleet of Type-26 frigates while six submarines help NATO monitor 2 million square kilometres of the North Atlantic.
