This service transferred agents in and out of Norway and provided them with weapons, radios and other supplies. From mid-1942, the group's official name was the Norwegian Naval Independent Unit (NNIU). In October 1943, it became an official part of the Royal Norwegian Navy and was renamed the Royal Norwegian Naval Special Unit (RNNSU). The unit was operated initially by small fishing boats and later augmented by three fast and well-armed submarine chasers – Vigra, Hessa and Hitra. Asgeir Ueland, born in 1974, is a historian and writer. He was educated at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem and has written for a number of Norwegian newspapers and journals.
