On behalf of all Brits I can tell you we're far too busy being impressed by how articulate Dane's are speaking English! I've worked a number of times in Vejle (and visited Kobenhavn) and I've always really enjoyed working in Denmark!! Greetings from the UK.
Keith Watson the type 26 costs too much and it takes to long to built i know that Canada will most likely be getting the type 26 but i don't think its a good idea to be honest
This interviewer isn’t very polite and too blunt for this kind of interview. The Danish Navy has done a great job in designing and building the Iver Huitfeldt Class Frigate. It puzzles taxpayers why the U.S. Navy is too proud or insular to look at this class of frigate and is unwilling to use Proven technology and design. The planned U.S. frigates will likely cost twice per unit as the Danish frigate, and taxpayers will be told that our Ships are ‘superior’. We should look at this Danish frigate and consider buying them.
Well, first we build the Viking Longboats, 800 years later, Frigate Jylland, the worlds first frigate sail ship with steam engine! 1000 years later, Maersk Trippel E world's biggest containership, and then Absalon Class and Ivar Huitfeldt Frigates. We might be a small nation with barely 6 mil people., but we are a great nation of seafarers and shipbuilder/designers! 🇩🇰
The guy conducting the interview is actually a major advocate for that. I think he's being blunt in the interview in order to be one step ahead of the critics. And regardless the interview was fine, it's a professional interview that's just how they are.
Dont worry about it. We always come across as rude because we are ourselves inherently very blunt compared to in the US. Just cultural difference, I dont think the captain thought anything of it.
Denmark needs to invest more in the Royal Danish Navy . . . private sector equity participation can address this issue without having to worry about exceeding annual defense budget . . .
Those are only the publicly known capabilities. On the occasions where the public is allowed to see the ships. Many large section of the ship are restricted..
I literally walked unto one of the Absalon Class flexible support ships and asked for a tour, they showed me everything. The danish military is very open about its ships.
Forsvaret cares more about advertising their equipment to potential recruits than keeping every little detail secret, it's not like it would be possible to keep much of it secret anyways given that off the shelf components are being used. But even then it's not information that would help any enemy and it definitely wouldn't help the people Denmark has been fighting lately. I doubt Somali pirates really care that the ship has Wi-Fi when they're in the reticle of the main gun.
Harpoon is seriously nearly outdated. I know the US is in the process of up kiting the capabilities of this platform but China/Russia have some seriously impressive capabilities, as has India. The US really has, thanks in large part to the sop Obama's 8 wasted years, desperately improve the USN as it is ageing just like their air force. The use of de commissioning a Carrier is currently being used as a bargaining chip with Congressional funding, several USN ships are badly rusted out it is just sad. The Type 26/Hunter Class at a max 9000 tonnes is really a Destroyer, bigger than the piddly Hobarts, the PLAN for context is on a continuous build and their Type 55 is a cruiser like a Ticon. Add in their LPD'/LHD build, subs, carriers, and in a generation thanks to reverse engineering and IP/military theft they will be a huge problem. India needs to step up, although non aligned their navy is finally being re built after decades of torpor. The Danes like the French, Italians and Spanish build great ships.
Well the good news is that NSM weights less than half than harpoon- so retrofitting it and keeping 16 is perfectly possible for IH- the weight saved by halfing ASM weight could be used to make the 32 MK 41 cells strike length if not already (probably would go with sm-6 only still, nsm can strike land targets). the weapons deck it carries is seriously impressive for a frigate of its size and cost with an equally impressive AESA and search radar. Refit those 76mm guns and attatch a towed array sonar as absalon has done(the hull sonar sounds incredibly capable too) and you have a serious surface combatant for the danes . I think the type 31 is great as a brit- those 32 strike length cells carrying anti ship and land attack cruise missiles will be a deadly punch- but this kind of AAW frigate would be a great supplement to the 6 type 45's as we await our new destroyers, something that could be adopted with the upcoming 'type 32 frigate;. I hope those new destroyers (type 83) come in somewhere between chinese 055 and zummwalt displacement t, 128 mk 41 (at least 64 strike length), 32 exls for quadpacked camm and a significant gun armament ( 1 or 2 x 127, 3 x 76, 4 x 35)- '083' is a RN cruiser designation and its important that our ships can qualitively compete with the chinese surface combatants even if the number of hulls cannot. 7+ of them would be more than enough
Both the Iver Huitfeldt and Absalon-class are some amazing ships!
they miss that sexyness but on practicability they are dead on spot
On behalf of all Danes please do excuse our dreadful accent. We're reasonably pleasent people, we don't mean for your ears to bleed when we speak.

Now that I heard indian english accent, no other country in the world have to worry about sounding dreadful.
I remember a Dane that used to play for Liverpool FC. His name was Jan Molby. And he spoke with a broad Scouse accent too !!!!! :-D
Who gives a shit about his accent, we can understand him and thats all that matters
Type 31 and Type 26 are going to be a credible, scalable combination. They just took too long to get the orders in.
Canada 🇨🇦 needs these ships!!!
you need the type 26, much much better!

go denmark, good work
where the hack is that national geographic documentry
Not National Geographic, but Discovery Channel
There's a German version on RUclips called "Peter Willemoes Hightech Fregatten der dänishe Marine".

Does this interviewer understand the concept of "classified information"?
This is a warship he's asking about.

i am with you Super6 i also felt so questions were too confidential.

When the owner of the shipyard is patriotic and need the frigates to protect his global fleet of container ships it may influence the price.

william broadstreet The VSL system accommodates all American missiles.
The Danish navy is ordering both sm2,sm3, sm6 and cruise missiles
