Question

What sources cover the Royal Norwegian Navy beyond Geirr Haarr's books?

Short answer

Class histories, motor-torpedo-boat studies, and corvette books offer the best additional English-language material.

Notes

English-language coverage remains thin beyond Geirr Haarr's work. Class-focused books, especially studies of motor torpedo boats and Norwegian corvettes, are the most useful supplements. Searching by vessel type works better than expecting a single comprehensive English history of the Royal Norwegian Navy. This route takes readers from broad campaign narratives into coastal-force and escort operations.
