What is the armour stats?

i`m not sure what you mean with armour stats..? If you mean the thickness of the hull, i don`t know it...

Denmark are also building 3 frigates based on the design of the combat support ship but without the roll-on/roll-off deck.
It will be equiped with better radar and sensors and will also have a 32-cell multi missile launcher(mk41?) for Standard SM-2 and Tomahawk cruisemissiles..

Beautiful.

I have seen it in Korsør, and it looks even more nice irl

[gulogulo]

Yep a nice little boat and i'm looking forward to seeing the new frigates/destroyers heading to sea...p-)

[Soldier of fortune]

Hail to the king baby :)

The Danish forces are WERY limited by numbers, but they have some nice gear.

[vajt]

I like the great multi-role capability of these ships. Transport and fighting capabilities! Makes for a good 2-for-1 deal.

That's what we are proud of in denmark and the fact that most the weaponstations are "containerised", so it is possible too switch weapons on different stations. There are also a "plug-in" option on the flex-deck which gives possibility of hooking 20" C4 containers up with the ships C4 suite. This gives the possibility of controlling a brigade sized land-component..

nice, looks like a good solution for navies that has't (or can't afford) a LPD
