US Navy plans to deploy nuclear submarines at Olavsvern underground base in Norway

The US Navy intends to use the Norwegian underground submarine base Olavsvern for the American Seawolf-class multipurpose nuclear submarines. Popular Mechanics writes about it.

The US Navy is in talks with the Norwegian government about the use of the American submarine forces fleet base Olavsvern, located in Northern Norway, 350 km from the Russian border. According to the US military, this base could be used as a starting point for operations in the Barents Sea against Russian submarines.

The use of the Olavsvern military base by the US Navy would allow a US Navy attack submarine to quickly go to sea in the event of an emergency.

- said the command of the Navy.

At the same time, it is specified that American submarines are already using the port of Malangen in Northern Norway for the exchange of crews and receiving supplies.

It should be noted that the proposal of the US Navy to deploy nuclear submarines at Olavsvern is not new. During the Cold War, nuclear submarines of the American and British fleets were based on it, monitoring the ships and submarines of the USSR Northern Fleet. However, in 2002 the base was closed and in 2011 sold to a private company that owns it, using the base to support oil exploration in the Barents and Norwegian Seas.

The total area of ​​the base's underground premises exceeds 25 thousand square meters, and of buildings - 13 500 square meters. On the territory of the base there were depots of ammunition, fuel, workshops, barracks, a deep-water pier and a dry dock.

Problems, more problems ...

It is high time to forget the definition of "Western partners"! Until better times, if any, those better times.

Yes, this definition was pronounced with irony from the very beginning. and the location of the base is so close to our borders ... a double-edged sword. Such bases in a threatened period will be destroyed first. And they will not save kilotons. Flight time is a few minutes ...

Two fatal delusions of our "partners" and their hangers-on - the "partners" think that they will have time to dump overseas and remain inaccessible to our "kilotons", and their singers - that the "owner" will be able to protect them and prevent them from turning into radioactive desert.

For some reason, I don’t feel sorry for the Norgs, the Poles, the Balts, or the rest. You have to pay for stupidity. And, God forbid, of course, but the price, should something happen, they will have to pay a terrible price for the American ambitions of world domination. The last in their stupid life.

They from Korea and Vietnam realized that when plastic coffins go to America, the stool begins to wobble under the US presidents. Since then - only a "coalition", understood in a peculiar way, in the American way. "We will promise you protection, and you die. And then we will come over your carcasses and divide the world in a brotherly way - between America and America."

Amers are terribly afraid of losing, but spilling nastiness and blood with someone else's hands is in the order of things for them ..

[rocket757]

Indeed, it will not take long for them to reach our waters, but it is not practical to set up a base within the reach of our strike assets.
Others, as a base of peacetime, non-problems.

The author is not aware, but this base was leased to the Russian company "Sevmorneftegeofizika" back in 2011, our ships (ships) "Akademik Nemchinov" and "Akademik Shatskiy" are there. When I read such articles, I have only one thought, the authors are interested in the topic they write about, or just unsubscribe)))

[rocket757]

There was something like that, they wrote ... but now the time is such that Westerners are not too worried about the fact that any relations with Russian companies should be lost to please their big brother. I'm not surprised at anything.

At the last exercise, one of the landowners banned the passage of NATO equipment, they had to make a detour 50 km, they really love private property))

[rocket757]

You know what touches me, when it is profitable for them, they ostentatiously demonstrate their loyalty to the principles of dermocracy, the code of speech, the inviolability of private property and so on !!! So ALL politicians do and EVERYWHERE!
BUT when the reins fall under their tail or NATO, they wanted to spit on any principles ..... citizen, against their will, wishlist, politicians, governments, dust under ...
So sho examples can be found for every taste, EVERYWHERE!
I do not claim that they did something, they can do it, that's for sure.

350 km. from the border + 50 km. inland, a total of 400 km. The flight time is a minute, if not less. Mattress toppers must understand this

They don't need to - the norgi need to understand that there will no longer be one of the world's best national teams at the World Hockey Championship. And absolutely nothing Norwegian will be.

[TermNachTer]

Fools do not mind. Mattress toppers must understand that the boat that is there, under certain circumstances, is not a tenant.

The Americans are pumping! They are trying to bind the Norwegians more tightly to the leg and expose them to a possible retaliation.

Not to forget the definition, but to place "Boreas" with "Ash" in Cuba and Venezuela!

It is difficult to say how and who can do it.

Yes, God bless him, p. Malbork. Norway, a country with a population of 5m ... A nation on the brink of extinction even without war. Arabs with blacks will not save, but accelerate the loss of identity. Do the Norwegians themselves understand how they will multiply after the impact of our missiles? The answer is no, there will be no one, but there will be rockets. To every port and every fjord. Why does Norway need it as a country? Why do ordinary people need this database?
I can't understand if they really think so (about the Russian threat), or, like everywhere else in Europe, the elite just sold their sovereignty?

[rocket757]

Hopes / illusions that the people do not think so and will not allow ..... remained in the distant 1941. It was a hard lesson for those who preached ..... although all of mankind received it, learned it, remembered it, almost no one can see it!

[Vladimir61]

Maybe they will decide to modernize our Balaklava base in the Crimea. At least for future babies.

[Eldorado]

Object 825GTS is too small for Project 636.3 (and was still completely plundered in the 90s), and our fleet does not have dwarf submarines, and they are unlikely to appear.

Weren't you inside? The museum is there and this is probably the only thing that can be done there. As for the "babies" ... The tendency is that the "babies" of the future are unmanned. Which, nevertheless, need carriers. Object 825 GTS will not fit anything in service.

If Norwegians are ready to die for US interests, these are Norwegians' problems

And who is asking them, the Norwegians? The question is that the United States is ready to fight for its interests to the last European.

How many plans did the United States have for nuclear bombing of the USSR, starting in April 1945? Even in Pravda, a list of cities designated by the United States as targets for strike was published. To provide ours now with a "leak" of target designation for a RESPONSE nuclear strike in Europe - if only there the screeching would begin!

[Bear040]

Well, if the Norwegians are not masters in their country, no one is to blame for them. Although, as for me, this is different, again they want, like under Hitler, to take part in the plunder of Russia, not realizing that today no one will use IL-2 against them and only ashes can remain from Norway.

Yes, I think no one gave up. Only America “surrendered” so that Europe would die for it.

The Norgi rented out the base. And everyone who wanted to could use the parking lot and other infrastructure at the base. The deal went through norga, as of March 2020 our ships were still leasing the squares of the base.

The facility was soon leased to Russian research vessels. For example, "Akademik Nemchinov" and "Akademik Shatskiy", belonging to the enterprise "Sevmorneftegeofizika", were based in Olavsvern. These vessels specialize in offshore oil and gas exploration by seismic exploration.

[LiSiCyn]

There was a scandal because of this. When it became clear that our research ships would be based. It was claimed that these were in fact RTR ships. After that, our kind was asked ...

Eh norgi it will cost you dearly .. I read memoirs who liberated Norway, such a tight-fisted people, for every broken tree they demanded compensation from the Soviet Army, and they themselves sat in the mines

[Bear040]

It would be necessary to take compensation from Norway, for the actions of Norwegian divisions and SS brigades in the USSR.

Quote: Bear040

Aha, they tore off compensation from the Soviet troops for every house destroyed, a broken tree, and they were paid with mats of course .. Those are money-grubbing! Our soldiers in the tents were freezing, because if we asked to spend the night at home, such invoices were issued there ..
The order was not to conflict with the Norgs and to be polite .. Then ours left, leaving them a lot of things. As compensation, for the fact that we freed them from the Natsiks.

[Bear040]

Well, it depends on the inhabitants of the Kremlin. They are always heroes to tear 7 skins from their own people, and before abroad, the poor are most often racchoms, not even bothering to think about what they think of them in their homeland ... And then they whine that their people hates ... And why such a trash to love that ?! Norway loves them all over the place, but we don't need Norwegian shoulder pads in the Kremlin ...

I guess it will be a priority target for our Poseidon.

That is why they are winding up Norway with the "Russian threat". They no longer even try to hide their goals and openly say that they are against Russia. The Norwegians are being carried on without even thinking that in this case a "present" will come to them. The West feels uncomfortable when "surrounded" by Russia.

US Navy plans to deploy nuclear submarines at Olavsvern underground base in Norway

The Olavsvern base lost its status as a naval base in 2002 and was closed in 2009 by the Norwegian government, like any write-off property was sold for 38 million kronor (4,4 million euros) to a businessman named Gunnar Wilhelmsen, who in turn leased it to Russian research vessels, as a result of which the base is currently used by the Russian firm Sevmorneftegeofizika. Since October 2014, the ships "Akademik Nemchinov" and "Akademik Shatskiy" have spent the winter there. As of 2020, the base is leased by Russian research vessels. And local Russians are happy))

[cat-begemot]

And in my humble opinion, amers need a base not for confrontation with ours directly, but for active competition and a springboard for influencing the northern region as a whole, including our economic zone in the Arctic. The base is always good. And the Norwegians understand that if there is no direct military conflict, then the kilo and megatons will not be spent on it. And it is difficult to refuse direct economic benefits. If they surrender, then obviously not to their detriment, but with preferences. Thinking, wanting and planning, this is not yet fact of decision making.
