I like the forward way of thinking of Danish navy, impressive strenght of navy already for such a small nation

[captivatethem]

The first vessel looks like the new Canadian Offshore Arctic Patrol Ship, but with more teeth and a possible ASW role. Fascinating modular mission bay concepts.

Ireland really needs to work with Denmark

[henrikchristensen]

Perhaps we should look at Damen Shipyards, the got a lot of good designs, and many proven designs, and they like to produce in other countries.

[kimkristensen]

The new multirole corvette is replacing the Diana class (launched 2006-2007). 6 ships are planed but only 5 billion dkk is in the total budget for now. 7.5 billion is more realistic.
4 Thetis class arctic corvettes (launched 1989-1991) are long overdue for replacement, but this may be pushed another 10 years. Likely it will be with a more capable replacement in a fregat size such as the 4 Finnish Pohjanmaa class which cost about 10 billion total.
2 Absalon class ASW fregates (launched 2004) will likely be about the same size as now, but with updated weapon/sensor technology and therefore much more expensive.
3 Iver Heuitfeld class airdefence fregats (launched 2010) is equiped with a 32 cell VLS. Expect the same or more in its replacement and perhabs to carry even superzonic missiles.
32 smaller vessels of marinehjemmeværnet (launched 1992/2003-2011) are also to be replaced perhabs with Baltic Workboats patrol class type vessels. That would total about 1 billion dkk.
Supposely there is 40 billion dkk in the budget for the listed vessels.
There seems to be a political will to reintroduce submarines in the Danish navy again. 3 type 212CD or A-26 would cost upwards 21 billion dkk with likely launch in 2036-2038.

[chandrachurniyogi]

it's time for the compromised Scandinavian navies to come together join forces & function as one . . . in ancient times Viking raiders always teamed up with other Viking raiders & fought together against the enemy . . .

[brisser]

i love the danish ships we allready have. plz keep them many years. even if we got new ships the old can still funktion some were in the arctic and baltic regions.. :-)

[waynesworldofsci-tech]

Ah, the enemy admiral in the Island Liquor Bottle War.

[andreasbruckner]

Are these ships and also other ships of Danish Royal Navy out of non-magnetic steel? Others are for minehunting operations for example..

[EricPham-grpg]

I had techniques to protect ship, building and personal from artillery or missile or airplane or even uav

[honfmeilingfleet]

another new ship that could be added in Modern Warships

The US Navy has some littoral combat ships they could sell you...

[heinedenmark]

From what I about ship design.. This seems to be a quite slow vessel. And that doesn't make much sense, if it's supposed to intercept other military vessels 🤷‍♂️

[giod]

To build a ship takes 10 years and more in the West, bureaucracy and so on.. But in China, it takes like a year to build a ship!

[rodneypantony]

There was an ex KGB artificial intelligence officer working for BlackBerry, 2008, and then Maluuba. Both apparently fired him. Could NOT do what he said he could. Query a pattern of Putin's artificial intelligence people overstating their capabilities. Ask John Chen for the guy's name and have a chat.

[PlasmodiumV]

They are ruining marine life with those toxic wind turbines.

next pipeline they blow up will be a better job then the last time
