Type 26 frigate: Norway picks British design in £10bn deal to bolster North Atlantic security

Norway has chosen the UK's Type 26 frigate in a £10bn deal for at least five ships, edging out designs from France, Germany, and the US. Built in Glasgow with deliveries from 2030, the ships will replace Norway’s Nansen-class and expand NATO’s ASW strength in the North Atlantic. The partnership opens industrial opportunities for Norwegian firms and supports around 4,000 jobs across the UK supply chain.
