KSS Aksel Bole is the lead ship of the Aksel Bole-class air-defense destroyers built for the former Norden Navy, and the seventh ship to hold that name. She was launched in 2088 on the Anker Verft and conducted sea trials between 2088 and mid 2087. She was handed over to the Norden Navy in December 2088, entered her base port of Reine for the first time in January 2089 and was formally commissioned on 23 July 2089. As the lead ship of the first destroyer class built for the Norden Navy since the Lars Hansen-class in the 2014, she has attracted significant media and public attention. Her name, crest and motto are dedicated after the Norden sailor Aksel Bole, famed for his bravery during the Sovereign Civil War at the Battle of Port Reine. She and her sisters are currently operated by the Royal Sovereign Navy.

Aksel Bole's first years in the Scandinovian Navy saw much activities in home waters where she trains much of her crew for familiarization of destroyers.

When the UN-SA War broke out, She along with the majority of the Norden Navy was sent to Mauerland with the task of keeping air defense. She spent the rest of war as escort to carrier groups of Equestria, Crystal, Norden and Questintonian fleets where she clashed with numerous carrier-borne jet fighters of the US Navy. She was slightly damaged throughout the war but was able to return to home waters after the war. She received her repairs and was selected as one of the ships that will be used for military parade across the world.

After the founding of the Royal Sovereign States, the ship was transferred to the newly formed fleet along with the rest of the former Norden Navy.

The ship spent another few years training new crew members for the new Royal Sovereign Navy in home waters. In 2107, she was sent to Japan for naval review where she made public appearances within the Japanese public.

She is still stationed in Japan when the Sanistan Air Force attacked Birke Harbor bringing the URSS to 2nd Great War. She was ordered to return to URSS immediately but the order was not received until 2112 which by that time, the war has reached the Seven continents. She and five other Sovereign Ships participated in more major actions of the war against Communist China than any other Royal Sovereign States ship. These actions include the attack on Sasebo Harbor, the Battle of Japan, the Battle of Sea of Japan, Battle of Hokkaido, various engagements such as the Korean campaign and Mainland campaigns. The ship served under the commands of the URSS and Japan throughout the war. Aksel Bole earned 10 battle stars for service in the war.

After the war, she returned to Sasebo one more time before leaving for the URSS waters. Today, the ship is still in active service.

Development

In 2069, The Admiralty of Scandinovia were pursuing the newly adopted "Rask angrepsflåte" which called out for newer ships with no lesser speed of 32 knots and is capable of powerful anti-aircraft duties to supplement it's fleet. The Aksel Bole-class although 2 knots slower than the intended target speed where developed properly. The class of ships were not to be armed with in built anti-ship and anti-submarine capabilities and is purely for anti-air, anti-missile and anti-projectile role only. The only way for the class to execute offensive attacks is by helicopters which can carry anti-ship torpedoes and missiles.
