From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rapp class torpedo boats were a class of six torpedo boats built in Norway for the Royal Norwegian Navy from 1952 to 1956. They were the first Norwegian-built torpedo boats after World War II, and were designed with many of the experiences from operations in this war in mind. The boats were slightly larger then the ELCO class.
The class was designed, constructed and scale tested by Harald Henriksen in 1946. The same design was used for 16 patrol boats deliveret to the Swedish navy. Henriksen later designed the Storm class, the Snøgg class and the Hauk class.
