FS Marjata (2014)
ship built in 2016
FS Marjata is a Norwegian purpose-built electronic intelligence collection vessel (ELINT), which was ordered by the parliament in 2010. It was baptized on 6 December 2014 by Prime Minister Erna Solberg. The ship is crewed by the Norwegian Intelligence Service.
Role and specifications
The ship is the fourth bearing the name Marjata. The first was operative in the period 1966–1975, the second in the period 1976-1995 and the third 1995-(still operating, but renamed FS Eger). Marjata was intended as the replacement for her predecessor, but it was decided to keep both for the same role. Previously, these ships were called research ships, but the new Marjata is the first to officially conduct intelligence as well. On some missions she has been accompanied by her predecessor, FS Eger; these missions are often intelligence or spy missions. The ship has neither weapons nor helicopters on board. The ship measures 5000 gt, 126 meters long and 23.5 meters wide.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “FS Marjata (2014)” as ship built in 2016. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as ship built in 2016. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q19372810. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2010, 2014, 1966 and 1975.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
