History
Commissioned in 1965, KNM Loke (A547) served as a key logistical support ship during the Cold War, supplying remote coastal fortresses and naval stations. The vessel was optimized for navigating the narrow fjords of Norway, ensuring reliable transport in challenging environments. After decades of service, it was decommissioned in the early 2000s as the Norwegian military restructured its coastal defense forces.
