The Naval Material Command and the Odense Steel Shipyard are working on the design and production planning of three new frigate sized patrol ships, which are planned to replace the almost 30 years old corvettes of the NIELS JUEL Class.

These photos, showing the latest design, have all been made available by courtesy of the Naval Material Command.

The first five pictures in this album shows the patrol ship equipped with the Dutch guidance and early warning systems, APAR (fore) and SMART L (aft), while the last five pictures show the ship equipped with the British SAMSON (fore) and Dutch SMART S (aft).
