HNoMS Svalbard – Norwegian Destroyer (1940-1960s)
HNoMS Svalbard was built in the late 1930s as a modern destroyer for the Royal Norwegian Navy.
In 1940, during the German invasion of Norway, she was damaged but not sunk.
Seized by the Kriegsmarine, she served under German flag for the rest of the war – modified, repainted, but never renamed by her crew, who still called her "Svalbard" in secret.
In 1945, after Germany’s surrender, the ship was found afloat, battered but alive.
Returned to Norway, she was recommissioned and served through the early Cold War, patrolling the harsh northern seas until the early 1960s.
Decommissioned and left at a pier in Oslo, she never became a museum – just a quiet veteran, waiting.
The ship and its story are completely fictional by the author, so don’t try to search about it and

🚢 ABOUT THE BUILD

· Realistic flooding system: Invisible buoyancy plates and hidden lifeboats make the ship sink realistically when damaged. The more hits you take, the more she lists.
· Working propellers – They spin when you move!
· Lots of detail: Railings, antennas, pipes, carts, nets – every inch feels alive.
· Optimized – Runs at 40–50 FPS on a good machine (considering the size and detail).
