Iver Huitfeldt

Post by john sefton » Thu Dec 17, 2009 5:41 pm

The Iver Huitfeldt class will be a three-ship class of frigates entering service with the Royal Danish Navy in 2012 and 2013.

The class is built on the experience gained from the Absalon-class command and support ships, and by using the design of the Absalon class the Royal Danish Navy have been able to construct the Iver Huitfeldt class considerably cheaper than comparable ships.

While the Absalon class ships are primarily designed for command and support roles, with a large ro-ro deck, the planned three new Iver Huitfeldt frigates will be equipped for a fighting role, and the potential to use Tomahawk cruise missiles, a first for the Danish Navy.

The three ships will be named HDMS Iver Huitfeldt (F361), Peter Willemoes (F362) and Niels Juel (F363)
