HNoMS ''Vale'' was a ''Vale''-class Rendel gunboat built for the Royal Norwegian Navy at Karljohansvern Naval Yard in 1874. She was one of a class of five gunboats - the other ships in the class was ''Brage'', ''Nor'', ''Uller'' and ''Vidar''. ''Vale'' was, in addition to the heavy, muzzle-loading main gun, armed with a small 'Quick Fire' gun and an early automatic gun, similar to the Gatling gun. Later ''Vale'' and her sister ships was rebuilt as mine layers, and she served in this role when the Germans invaded in 1940. During the Norwegian Campaign she served mainly in the Sognefjord. She was captured by German forces after the surrender of Norwegian forces in southern Norway, and returned to Norway after the war. The vessel was built at the Naval Yard at Horten, and had yard number 54. ==External links== * (Naval history via Flix: KNM Vale ), retrieved 14 Feb 2006 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「HNoMS Vale (1874)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
