> Defense Minister Troels Lund Poulsen is no longer determined that the new Danish frigates will only be built by Danish yards. Now we are talking about a solution in cooperation with a NATO partner. This is according to Berlingske Tidende.
>
> “It’s investments for a ten-digit billion, and that’s why we’ve given ourselves a little longer to think about in terms of how to make a production of frigates in Denmark. You can do this in many different ways, but what is clear to me is that Denmark cannot do it alone,” says Minister of Defence Troels Lund Poulsen to the newspaper.
>
> “If it is for me, there will be an international touch. We have to be careful not to think we can do it all ourselves, and therefore we will have to cooperate with one or more NATO countries that have experience with the construction of frigates,” says Troels Lund Poulsen.
>
> Hereby, the Minister of Defence is in line with several experts with whom Berlingske Tidende has spoken.

> “Although we have some fine shipyards at home, none of them have built a ship of this size for the last 15 years. So I’m deeply skeptical of whether a Danish frigate solution makes sense,” defense analyst Hans Peter Michaelsen told the newspaper.
>
> Norway has just decided to buy British frigates for the Norwegian Navy. The choice of the fall of the BAE Systems Type 26 frigates, optimized for submarine hunting. Norway will buy at least five frigates of this type and they will be built at a shipyard in Glasgow.
>
> In the Norwegian decision, it is an independent point that the new Norwegian frigates must be as similar with the British frigates as possible in order to optimize the cooperation between the Norwegian and the British Navy.
The ship in the picture is the [GMF-120](https://www.navalnews.com/naval-news/2025/08/lurssen-proposes-gmf-120-guided-missile-frigate-for-danish-fleet-plan/) design which [Lurssen](https://nvl.de/en) proposed for the project
Frankly at 2 billion pound a piece Norway is paying. I would get simple patrol boats and more submarines instead.
Denmark is just paving the way to buy American ships.
Stockholm syndrome.
I have a sneaky suspicion they are looking at the US *Constellation*-class. It’s the only thing that would fit the bill other than something like the F126/F127 but they are in an even worse state that the US offering.
I would also expect the Danes to want at least a similarly armed warship which leaves only the US (especially is the US manages to cram even more VLS on top of the 32 it already has.) or another Arrowhead from Babcock but that is very unlikely.
Yearh, last batch of new ships, they were built in Gdansk by North Korean workers(Danish state is not used to deal with postsovjet corruption and Russian Mafia). We are better of building ourselves, let it be own design or on license.

Is the [Anti-Submarine Warfare Frigate (ASWF)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Submarine_Warfare_Frigate_(Royal_Netherlands_Navy)#List_of_ships) project of the Netherlands and Belgium not an option for Denmark? Hull will be made by Damen Shipyards Galați (in Romania), the rest will be done in the Netherlands by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding.
Although I think it’s maybe too late, to join the project.
They should work with the Netherlands to developer a suitable air defence successor to Iver Huitfeldt- and De Zeven Provinciën-classes.
Basically [this one](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Air_Defender) but now as a Dutch-Danish collaboration. The first unit could be named to commemorate [The Battle of the Sound](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Sound).
