Following the Oslo visit, the USS Gerald R. Ford will sail further along the Norwegian coast, said Jonny Karlsen, a spokesman at the operational headquarters of the Norwegian Armed Forces (FOH).
– It will train with our troops in the Navy, Air Force, Ground Forces and Armed Forces special forces, and this will take place along the coast of Norway, said Karlsen.
– Looks like there will be extensive practice activities?
– Yes, that’s it. From that point of view, we are satisfied to have practiced a lot with the carrier group and America, which is our closest ally.
The defense keeps his cards close to his chest on the way down there When And Where Along the coast, training activities are taking place, but TV 2 received confirmation Tuesday from a central position in the US Navy that the cruise after Oslo is heading for Arctic waters.
– Sailors look forward to working in the Arctic Circle, as many of their friends in the navy never have the opportunity to do so. Having the opportunity to visit Oslo, and experience the North Sea and the Arctic is something we look forward to, Ship Commander Rick Burgess told TV 2.
The aircraft carrier docked just before 12 o’clock in Oslo. The ship is located near Ormøya in the Bunnefjord.
