Historical
The Oscarsborg fortress was responsible for sinking the German heavy cruiser Blucher in 1940 when Germany sent an invasion flotilla to take Norway. The fortress held German forces at bay while the King of Norway and the Norwegian government escaped. The fortress had an underwater torpedo battery. The concrete reinforced battery was housed in a cave dug into the rock of the north side of the island. The underwater torpedo battery fired torpedoes through three tunnels.
Swedish made 7.5cm (75/57) coastal guns. (Decommissioned?)
