Title:Submarine Branch centenary
Date of Issue: 12 June 2009
Country: Norway
Denominations: NOK 14.50 - NOK 15.50

It is a hundred years this year since the launching of Norway’s first submarine at Germaniawerft in Kiel.his submarine, which was christened "Kobben" and later renamed A-1,surpassed all expectations and in 1911 a decision was made to build another three submarines at the same shipyard. A fifth was also started, but it was confiscated by the German navy when the first world war broke out.The history of Norwegian submarines really began in 1808, when a
village genius and blacksmith, Mikkel Hallsteinson Lofthus from
Hardanger, designed the first known Norwegian underwater boat. He
submitted drawings to a society in Bergen that promoted useful
products, but the boat was never built. There was too little interest
and not enough money. However this was put right 101 years later.

    Hi there!
    I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

    For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
    I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
    Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my web site to get additional info.
