No brainer for the identified but delayed/put off RNZN OPV need. That length should handle the antarctic swells, unlike the existing OPVs.

She is a beast!!!!, a beautiful beast !

Just gotta remeber to give them working targeting computers this time lol

[ironwolfF]

The US Navy / Coast Guard could use several of those...Alaska has a _long_ coastline.

Nice, looks more like a yacht.
Hope it has a little ice breaker qualities as well.

[danlegris]

Oh look, Canada's arctic patrol ship is already outdated before we even finished building them
B4 Irving even resolved the severe flooding problems, structural problems, the towing problem, the satellite comm's company losing their security clearance, problems with the refuelling system, the generator problems, and I can't even remember what else, who cares at this point.
We should be a shipbuilding powerhouse on the global stage, meanwhile Swift kayaks and canoes has more credibility

Kind of looks like the BMT Venator 110

Bonita proa, el oleaje en el Atlántico y en el Artico es muy fuerte. El helideck deberia ser mas alto por lo mismo, para que la flotabilidad de la proa no hunda la popa al entrar al oleaje

Right. So it’s ‘ice capable’ whatever that means.

What POLAR class is it? That’s what we need to know.

[kimkristensen]

Denmark needs to replace 4 arktis Thetis class asap. 6 would be better and hopefully capable off meeting emergin threats with perhabs Mk41 VLS for 32 missiles and radar to utilize SM-6 and Tomahawk, abd not to forget VDS and torpedoes. Denmark has the fifth largest commercial fleet in the world and the 12 largest landmass when Greenland is included. Its navy should be scaled accordingly

More ships for the Danish navy!! Funny thing that they can't recruit enough crews for the already existing ships and funding for armament isnt done either!!

[tony]

sadly it has one weakness i hope they remedy it in their design it has dead angels for their gun weaponry that's was the first thing i noticed.

[michaelguerin]

The RNZN Inshore Patrol Vessels (IPVs) are an even bigger joke. Typical penny pinching crap, like the old 37.5m class . They cannot mount a weapon forward of the wheelhouse because of the sea washing over the bow. The HMS Tamar was her in Wellington last week. I am certainly not a naval architect BUT her side aspect—as viewed from our worksite high up in Oriental Bay—looked one HELL of a lot more suitable for our seas than our IPVs.

[mikechaud]

Where are the guns? Only 9 rockets? Even Russian boat has got more than that.

[HRkapitan]

Lol, you dont NEED to know anything about danish warships

[BertMerlin]

So how many billions do we waste on build these..?
