HNoMS Trygg (trygg is Norwegian for safe, secure, dependable) was a Royal Norwegian Navy torpedo boat. She was built in Moss and finished in Horten. She had two sister ships: HNoMS Snøgg and HNoMS Stegg. Trygg was commanded by Frantz W. Munster and made an heroic effort against the invading Germans outside Molde and Åndalsnes in April 1940. The ship was constantly bombed by German planes and was sunk by a bomb 25 April 1940. The ship was salvaged by the Germans, renamed Zick and made service as a "Vorpostenboot" until she was sunk by a British plane outside Bergen in 1944.
