The 3D bottom model tells a lot about the position of the Norwegian frigate
It is noteworthy that the 3D model of the sea bottom relief was previously presented in the Norwegian media. As it turns out, the difference from the new model presented is not particularly great.
Experts point out that the ship is on a platform going to a depth. Moreover, the depth to which the frigate may eventually “crawl” is about 50 m. The Norwegian military men talk about 54 m. This is a kind of sea pit, which belongs to the coastal zone of the Atlantic. Beyond the edges of this pit, which rise several meters above its bottom, are already very different depths - much more significant.
However, after investigating the bottom relief, experts agreed that even a relatively strong storm could not carry a warship beyond the mentioned 50-meter bottom pit, partly into which Helge Ingstad had already slipped.
Meanwhile, from the north of Norway to Bergen, not far from which the frigate sank after a collision with the tanker Sola, a storm was coming. At the moment it is raging in the Tromsø region, while the south-west wind drives bad weather to the south of Norway, meeting with other high-speed air flows from Oslo - in a westerly direction.
It is noted that a strong wind and high waves, which are typical for Norway at this time of year, can stretch the operation to raise the frigate for an indefinite period.
