Notes

The Patrol Vessels of the FLYVEFISKEN Class, also named as the Standard Flex 300 type, is capable of switching between several rolls/configurations  by a planned container system.
The different containers will make it possible to change the role of the ship from a clean surveillance role to a guided missile vessel or Mine Hunter within hours.
