Iver Huitfeldt-class frigate

Marine Vehicles

The Iver Huitfeldt class is a three-ship class of air defence frigates, the Iver Huitfeldt, Peter Willemoes and Niels Juel, built by Odense Steel Shipyard for the Royal Danish Navy and entered into service in 2012 and 2013. The design reuses the basic hull of the Absalon class, which let the navy build the ships considerably cheaper than comparable vessels. The hulls were made in blocks in Estonia and Lithuania to control cost and then towed to Odense for assembly. The ships take the navy StanFlex modular payload system, are equipped with Standard Missiles and carry a 32-cell Mark 41 launcher, with the potential to use Tomahawk cruise missiles, a first for the Danish navy. The Niels Juel was the last newbuilding the yard delivered, in January 2012.
