Hauk class patrol boats are a series of Norwegian fast attack craft. Hauk means hawk in Norwegian. The 14 Hauk class vessels make up the Coastal Combat flotilla, responsible for protecting the rugged Norwegian coastline. The ships are continuously modernized and are today known as "Super-Hauks." The Royal Norwegian Navy deployed four of these warships for anti-terror patrol in the Strait of Gibraltar.
The Hauk class ships have been modernized to meet the arrival of the new and more modern Skjold class MTBs. This modernization includes the Senit 8 CMS, Link 11 (receive only), modifications of the Penguin missiles and upgrades to the navigation equipment.
