Ship project history: Seaworthy minelayer with extremely powerful armament for her displacement and a high speed: some kind of "the early version" of Olaf Tryggvason. The project was created in 1914.

Modernizations:  mid-1930s: boilers were converted to mixed coal/oil firing (95t of coal + 60t of oil); + 1 x 1 - 76/28 Bofors AA

Naval service: Froya was scuttled on shallow water by crew 13/4/1940 in the Skern-fjord near Trondheim, thus day ship was torpedoed by German submarine U34 and ultimately destroyed.
