@ Sonar: Thanks a lot for the help =) To clarify a bit, I am not specific about submarines yet. Though I imagine my stomach fares better in our little shallow-water diesel-electrics than in our new frigates.
The Norwegian navy is about a hundredth of everything the US navy is, ie four-five frigates, six-seven submarines and only one marine school.
Maybe I should air the possibility of getting a naval career to them, too.
