Norway’s Silent Watch
Norway’s Utstein has completed a NATO deployment, the alliance says, offering a rare glimpse into the surveillance work beneath the surface of European security.
Two dark submarine hulls cut through the water in photographs accompanying the announcement. Utstein sails alongside another Norwegian submarine, Utsira, during a photo exercise. White wakes mark their passage.
The images show the boats in plain sight. The mission described by NATO’s Allied Maritime Command depended on operating discreetly.
