The world's biggest warship, the USS Gerald R Ford aircraft carrier, arrived in Oslo on Wednesday for a stopover criticised by neighbouring Russia as an "illogical and harmful" show of force.
The USS Gerald R Ford, which can transport up to 90 aircraft and helicopters, is expected to remain moored in the Norwegian capital for several days.
A vast airspace and sea ban has been implemented around the vessel.
According to online daily Barents Observer, the ship is expected to head for the Arctic in several days ahead of the May 29 start of the Arctic Challenge Exercise, gathering 150 aircraft from 14 Western countries.
