Panserskipet Eidsvold and Norge at Narvik early April 1940
Panserskipet Eidsvold and Norge at Narvik early April 1940. Reactivated from mothballs the previous year, they were outdated and outclassed by just about any period cruiser or battleship, and lost their only battle. A total of 276 men died on these two vessels, while just 96 were plucked from the freezing water, the largest single loss of life for the Norwaegian navy in WWII
