This is a copyrighted and/or unlicensed photograph depicting a watercraft. It does not fall into one of the blanket fair use categories listed at Wikipedia:Fair use#Images, and it is not covered by a more specific non-free content license listed at Category:Wikipedia non-free file copyright templates. However, it is believed that the use of this work in the article "HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen OPV" to illustrate the watercraft in question where no free equivalent is available or could be created that would adequately give the same information on the English-language Wikipedia, hosted on servers in the United States by the non-profit Wikimedia Foundation, qualifies as fair use under United States copyright law. Any other uses of this image, on Wikipedia or elsewhere, may be copyright infringement. See Wikipedia:Fair use and Wikipedia:Copyrights.

Fair use for HNoMS Fridtjof Nansen (1930)[edit]

The image linked here is claimed to be used under fair use as:

1. The photo is only being used for informational purposes.
2. Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article much better than any description can do.
3. Since the ship in question is scrapped more than 60 years ago, it will be impossible to make any new photo with a more acceptable license.
