HNoMS Skorpionen was the lead ship of her class of three monitor built for the Royal Norwegian Navy in the 1860. She was scrapped in 1908, well after her muzzle-loading guns were outdated. The two other ships in her class was Mjølner and Thrudvang. The slightly later Thor can be seen as an improved Skorpionen-class monitor. The name translates as The Scorpion.
