HNoMY Norge

Call Sign: Lima-Alfa-Mike-Alfa

HNoMY Norge is the Royal Yacht of the King of Norway. One of only three remaining Royal Yachts in Europe, the ship's name Norge is Norwegian Bokmål for Norway. The Royal Yacht Norge was the Norwegian people's gift to King Haakon VII in 1947. The yacht is owned by the King but maintained and manned by the Royal Norwegian Navy. Originally built in 1937 in the United Kingdom for a wealthy businessman, she served in the Royal Navy as an armed yacht during the Second World War.

The vessel was built in 1937 by Camper and Nicholsons in Gosport, Hampshire as a luxury yacht for Thomas Sopwith, a wealthy British aviation engineer and industrialist, who was then the chairman of the Hawker Siddeley Aircraft Company. The yacht's name was MY Philante, a portmanteau of the names of the owner's wife and son; Phil, short for "Phyllis", an, short for "and", t and e for "Thomas Edward".

Philante was taken in hand by the navy on 21 September 1939 for conversion at Portsmouth, and she served as HMS Philante (some sources use the prefix "HMY" for "His Majesty's Yacht"). On 21 June 1940, Philante evacuated the Lieutenant Governor of Jersey to Portland during the demilitarisation of the Channel Islands. She also acted as a training vessel for the Fleet Air Arm and as a convoy escort, in which role she made seven return crossings of the Atlantic between 1941 and 1942. In September 1942, Yachting magazine reported that she was "one of the most luxurious warships afloat... her oak-panelled wardroom can seat fifty people at dinner at one table. The officer's cabins have private bathrooms, divan beds and the fittings of a West End hotel suite". In February 1943, Philante was attached to the Western Approaches Tactical Unit, which ran courses for Royal Navy, Royal Canadian Navy, Fleet Air Arm and RAF Coastal Command officers in the latest techniques of anti-submarine warfare (ASW). Under the direction of the Commander-in-Chief Western Approaches, Admiral Sir Max Horton, Philante, with a staff of ASW experts on board, would provide the practical element of these courses, acting as the commodore of a convoy in exercises involving other warships, submarines and aircraft. These exercises were conducted at a number of different bases around the United Kingdom, wherever Escort Groups were preparing to depart. Philante's final contribution was in May 1945, when she was attached to 21st Escort Group with Admiral Horton on board and supervised the surrender and disarmament of 33 U-boats at Loch Eriboll on the north coast of Scotland. In 1946, Philante was sold back to Thomas Sopwith, despite him having already bought a replacement yacht which he called Philante II.

When Prince Carl of Denmark, a naval officer, agreed to be elected to the vacant throne of Norway in 1905 (taking the royal name of Haakon), he was promised a royal yacht. Due to Norway's difficult economic situation after the dissolution of the union with Sweden, it never materialized. During the two World Wars the economy and other conditions never made it possible to acquire a yacht.

After World War II a nationwide appeal was made for funds to purchase a yacht for the respected and ageing king, who had become a truly national symbol through his steadfast resistance against Nazi Germany. Among the followers of the appeal were 300,000 of the country's school children. Eventually, interest centred on the British motor yacht Philante

In July 1947, the ship was bought by Norway for 1,500,000 Norwegian Kroner, in time for a model to be made and presented to the King at his 75th birthday. She was returned to the original builders, Camper and Nicholsons, for a refit. King Haakon inspected the work in progress during his visit to England in November 1947 for the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh. The architect Finn Nilsson was asked to oversee the redesign. After refitting was completed, she was commissioned on 17 May 1948, and on 9 June, was presented to King Haakon and renamed Norge. King Haakon used Norge extensively for travels in Norway and abroad; his last voyage in her was to Molde in western Norway in June 1955.

King Olav took over Norge after his father's death in 1957, and a 10-year plan was adopted to upgrade the hull and technical equipment. The King followed the traditions introduced by King Haakon, using Norge on both official and private occasions.

On 7 March 1985, Norge was docked for repair at the shipyard in Horten. During welding operations on board a fire broke out and that lasted a whole day and destroyed most of the ship, though the hull and engines survived. King Olav decided the ship was to be rebuilt at Horten shipyard. A year later he was once again able to take over Norge, with a higher standard of safety and better technical equipment than before the fire.

When King Olav died in 1991, Norge was taken over by King Harald.

The Royal Yacht Norge is owned by HM The King. A Royal Decree of 1947 provides that the ship shall be manned, operated and maintained by the nation's Defence Forces. In summer the complement of officers and crew is 54. The season begins when the King embarks in May and ends when he disembarks in late September. The winter is used for maintenance, with a reduced crew of 20.

The sailing schedule for the Royal Yacht varies from year to year. When the King is competing in major international yacht races, he uses Norge as a base. The King and Queen also make use of the Royal Yacht for official events in Norway and abroad. In 2004 the King used the yacht on his trip to France for the 60th anniversary of D-Day. In 2006 the yacht was among other events used abroad during the state visit to Ireland and in Norway during the state visit by the King and Queen of Spain.

For the summer of 2007, Norge and the Danish Royal Yacht Dannebrog cruised along the southernmost parts of Norway, to celebrate the 70th birthdays of Their Majesties The King and Queen—and Norge itself.

The Royal Yacht today

The sailing schedule of the Royal Yacht varies from year to year. The summer season is opened when the King embarks for inspection, normally in mid-May, and is closed in late September when the King disembarks.

Today, the Royal Yacht is used in part to support the King’s participation in regattas. The King uses the ship as a base when competing in major yacht races. In recent years he has sailed in a number of regattas in European waters.

The King and Queen also travel on board the Norge in connection with official engagements in Norway and abroad. The ship is also used by The Crown Prince and Crown Princess on their county visits, and the vessel is often seen along the coast of Norway during the summer.

Special occasions

In 1991 King Harald and Queen Sonja used the Royal Yacht to visit Southern Norway in connection with their consecration tour. The following year the entire Royal Family conducted a tour of Northern Norway. In the summer of 1997 the King and Queen invited members of the European Royal Houses to join in the celebration of their 60th birthdays. The guests enjoyed a cruise from Trondheim in central Norway to Lofoten in the north, and were lodged on board the Royal Yacht Norge , the Danish Royal Yacht Dannebrog and the Norwegian naval vessel KNM Horten .

King Olav V also used the Royal Yacht in 1958 and 1959 for tours in connection with his consecration.

Maintenance

The Norge requires extensive maintenance, both above and below deck. This is carried out by the crew during the winter. The ship is classified by DNV.

A Royal Decree of 1947 stipulates that the ship shall be manned, operated and maintained by the Norwegian armed forces.

During the summer season the ship has a crew of  approximately 50.  During the winter the crew is reduced to a minimum of approximately 25. The crew’s main tasks consist of watch duty and maintenance. In February each year a group of new recruits reports for duty to begin theoretical and practical training for the coming season.

Norwegian King and Queen hosted a reception onboard the Royal Yacht Norge

King Harald and Queen Sonja of Norway hosted a farewell reception onboard the Royal Yacht Norge at Havnepladsen in Aarhus, Denmark. Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark attended the reception. After the reception, the Norwegian and Danish royal yachts departed from Aarhus.

Why is Crown Princess Mary standing in front of the King??

She does not stand in front of the King. King Harald as we all know is not well on his feet and normally needs two crutches. Here he is leaning with his right hand on a chair instead. Maybe the photographer directed Mary to move a little closer to hide the chair in the picture. Or to lend a hand if needed. It is not an official photo on a state banquet or something like that. It is more like dinner with friends.

I was thinking the same but probably the picture was taken immediately after she greeted Queen Sonja and she couldn't stand clinging to her, and the photographer didn't point it out so they could all rearrange. I assume it's an unfortunate coincidence. They all look great. I like Mary's blouse in particular a lot.

Princess Mary is always on point with royal protocol, I agreed with Beth, they were more aware of the king in case he needs help.

Mary's curtsys are way too low, but a lovely top. j.

Actually that is a more prper curtsy rather than doing it like you are in a hurry. She was trained that way as a member of danish royal family. And she always do the deep curtsy whichever country she goes & meet the monarch.

This is what the royal protocol dictates in Denmark. The lower rank royal lady , namely a Princess (including Marie), kisses the higher rank lady, the Queen. Then the Princess curtisies putting her left leg almost down to the floor and looking up towards the Queen all the time (this happens also when meeting Q.Margrethe). The two ladies hold onto each other's elbows. It takes just a few seconds. Considering that Mary is taller than Q.Sonja , she has to lean down towards Q.Sonja even when they are standing and kissing each other.(pic 4).

This is the proper way to curtsy. Or do you mean Princess Anne doesn't know how to curtsy? https://i.pinimg.com/736x/3d/8c/66/3d8c66395308432f14dfa134be7c789c.jpg

Mary looks so lovely in this outfit. Especially the blouse is gorgeous. Everything about it is light, flowy. Much beter than the Erdem dress

Very nice top! Love it 👍

Um CP Mary not a good choice IMO.

Queen Sonia’s dress is a gorgeous cherry red color and she looks elegant as always. I like the flowers on Mary’s blouse but not the design…not a fan of the loose bell sleeves. Her hairdo is pretty and I do admire ladies who can wear wide legged slacks with high heels and walk confidently. (I’d be constantly tripping!)

The dark pearls the Queen is wearing are divine, her necklace and bracelet, look fabulous. Her dress looks lovely. CP Mary looks superb. I love this floral print silk blouse. Interesting features, the neckline and sleeves, cuffs are very becoming, it looks very feminine, combined with the white pants, looks fabulous. The clutch was a clever choice, color wise, drawing out the yellow coloring of her blouse. Her earrings are splendid.

Yes to Queen Sonia's dress, simple and elegant but no to Mary's outfit, blouse or wide legged pants. Ava

This fresh and flowing outfit is lovely on Mary. Very summery but covered.

Very pretty top, light and airy for summer

Sonja looks elegant and great; Fred's suit jacket is way too small; and Mary's hair dresser cape is no good. - Ellile

Another positive vote for Mary's blouse. It looks beautiful. (I don't like the wide trousers though. They look OK from the front, but not from the side.) - Anon 9:13

I like the blouse on the model but how Mary combined it doesn't look smashy for me. It's a mess.

If Mary's outfit had been made by Natan she would not receive good critics. Besides the haute couture rules are : wide pants, a shorter and tighter top. Regular or skinny pants the top can be made wider. The fabric of the top is very lovely though. A summer dress in this fabric would have been stunning.

QS's looking terrific in this cherry coloured dress; very elegant. I do like the blouse CPM's wearing, but not in combination with this white pair of trousers; A yellow or black colour would have made the overall look so much better in my opinion.

Même si je ne suis pas trop fan des pantalons larges, je reconnais que celui de Mary lui va à merveille ; son chemisier à imprimé floral est superbe mais la couleur de fond est trop fade. Très bonne idée que d'avoir ressorti ces boucles d'oreilles !

Queen Sonia looks lovely and elegant in the red dress. CP Mary's blouse is one of the ugliest I have seen in a long while. Looks like a cheap hairdressers cape from way back. I like her pants. Ladyofthemanor

Oh I think Mar's blouse is lovely, a bit unusual yes but why not ?

Mary best dressed royal! /Annson

When I take into account the following ….. - Outdoors, nautical location, on a boat - Danish summer weather. - A friendly, family lunch, not a gala indoor banquet. Then, for me, Princess Mary has made a good choice with her outfit.

Hello, @Deadeggs. Yes, your remarks are correct. As far as I can see here and on other sites, the yacht was docked in Nyhavn in Copenhagen, a beautiful elegant place where you can find elegant venues to spend time sipping your coffee or having meals while looking at the people taking strolls up and down in the surroundings All the royals are appropriately attired for a formal gathering onboard (A formal banquet would be held at one of the Monarch' s castles and with the Queen herself in attendance). Moreover, summers are somewhat changeable in Denmark, sunny on some days and rainy and even nippy on other days.

Ops, sorry. The caption here reads that the reception was held in Aarhus... well It does not change that much. Aarhus Is a well known university town in Denmark. There Is also an eye- catching harbour, which can be easily spotted from afar given its main feature, a gigantic ball symbolizing the earth. It is quite similar to Nyhavn in Copenhagen. Hope Q.Sonja spento some time visiting exibitions in Aarhus. She seems to be so fond of arts.

I think CPMary’s outfit would have been wonderful if she had worn the slim pink trousers as shown on the model. Others here have mentioned that ‘volume over volume’ is not always flattering, and I agree. Nevertheless her hair, makeup, jewelry, and accessories are lovely. (V.M.)

The model version of the blouse has a pink hue to it. But Mary’s has more of a grey hue.It could be the choice of trousers and under top that makes them look different. It’s very whimsical and feminine. QS looks lovely in her red dress. Bea

QS back to her elegant self, a rare miss for PM, hair, earrings are beautiful, the i don't like the blouse neither the pants. Luna

QS is beautiful in her rose colored dress. I was a bit surprised by Mary's look as this is a different look for her in terms of the top. She too looks beautiful. I like her look but wish she had chosen to imitate the model's presentation--loose and flowy top not tucked in over more narrow trousers. Her hair, makeup, jewelry, and accessories are marvelous. Janet

Awful trousers. I have better fitting long smart white pants in my closet on my humble budget .

I usually don't fault CP Mary's outfit choices but on this occasion I will say her outfit not only looks ridiculous it is also hideous. Mary

Mary goes from bad to worse. First Erdem and now this. Going for boho this summer?
