Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

The lead ship of the Nordkapp class of fishery protection vessels, Nordkapp was launched 18 August 1937 at Horten naval shipyard, with yard number 123.

She had one sister ship, HNoMS Senja. Nordkapp was named after the North Cape in Finnmark.

As was typical of her class Nordkapp was very unstable in rough seas and was viewed from the beginning as a second-rate vessel.

Even with such a poor outset Nordkapp sailed throughout the Second World War with a fine service record.
