A costly crash
Given that the frigate is one of only five operated by the Norwegian navy, its loss is likely to impact on national and NATO operations. But the country's military will have to carefully consider the cost of salvaging and repairing it for active service.
Pape told CNN: "Curiously, if the ship is not repaired, the reduction of one ship that needs to be maintained, upgraded, manned and used over the remaining 20 years of its life will mean that cost for the navy could go down in the long run, however with a loss of capability."
Pape estimates that a decision to salvage it,
repair it, and return it to service would cost hundreds of millions of dollars. "The total cost could be similar to the cost of a new ship."
The financial impact of the crash is likely to be felt well beyond the military, as it triggered the shutdown of a North Sea crude export terminal, Norway's largest gas processing plant and several offshore fields.
In total, these five oil and gas fields produce around 400 million Norwegian krone ($48 million) a day or 17 million krone ($2 million) an hour. Since the oil companies pay 78 percent taxes to the state for production, the two-day shutdown ultimately resulted in a substantial economic loss for the nation, national broadcaster
NRK reported.
The Norwegian Navy is now considering ways to raise the vessel, according to the military's chief of staff, Admiral Nils Andreas Stensones.
"It's very hard for a navy to lose a vessel," he told AFP
