TL;DR Summary

The duty commander of a Norwegian Navy frigate that sank following a collision with an oil tanker in 2018 was found guilty of negligence by a Norwegian court and given a 60-day conditional sentence. The officer had denied criminal guilt but acknowledged that he did not do everything right. The frigate's 137 crew were evacuated before the vessel sank, and eight people were slightly injured. The frigate has since been raised and scrapped as it was deemed too costly to repair it.
