New Nuclear Sub Suddenly Appeared in Tromsø, Norwegian Defense More Restrictive with Information

The American nuclear-fueled submarine USS Albany Tuesday afternoon arrived in Grøtsund port near Tromsø, Norway, NRK reports.

Spokesperson at the Norwegian Joint Operations Headquarters Elisabeth Eikeland says the reason for the vessel’s visti not being announced beforehand is that they want to be more restrictive with information than waht has been the case with previous submarine arrivals during the past year.

Preivously, the Armed Forces have always annonced the controversial submarines prior to their arrival. Forthwith, they will not be doing so.

“This is due to the fact that it took a long time for this port to be realized and we were unable to hold a public general information meeting due to the pandemic. So we chose to be more open about it”, she says.

The submarine now arriving to the city is the third vessel to arrive at this port.
