An item referred to the Proceedings dated April 1938 reporting that the Norwegian navy stationed the Olav Tryggvason (1), the torpedo boat Sleipner (2) and 3 submarines for a longer period in the arctic ocean. This was probably done as a result of the interest shown by not specified powers in the Norwegian waters. Four years earlier were anonymous aircraft sighted flying over the coast and later became that anonymous submarines visited the fjords. It was believed that the Russian fleet without much problems could block the entire Scandinavian western coastline.
