1977 Vidar-class minesweeper

HNoMS Vidar (N52) was a Royal Norwegian Navy minelayer and command vessel. Vidar was built by Mjellem & Karlsen in Bergen in 1977, and named after Odin's son Vidar from Norse mythology. The vessel was the command ship for NATO's "Mine Counter Measures Force North" (MCMFORNORTH) in 2004 and 2005. In 2006 she was sold to Lithuania and given the name N42 Jotvingis. The Lithuanian Navy uses her as a command and support ship. Her sister ship HNoMS Vale was sold to Latvia in 2003.
