HNoMS Kvikk (P984) was a Royal Norwegian Navy fast patrol boat (FPB) of the Snøgg class which was built in 1970, taken out of service in 1994 and scrapped in 1996. The boat gained a lot of media attention in the so called Kvikk case, due to claims that an abnormally high number of the children of the men who had served on the boat were born with club foot or other congenital disorders.
