The commander and crew of the brand new Danish air defence frigate Iver Huitfeldt could not have chosen a finer evening than this for cruising in Øresund. The Nordic early summer night was at its most charming - no wind, temperature reaching about 20 C, and the sun setting as the ship was silently gliding northwards in the Sound, close to Helsingør.
The Iver Huitfeldt, the first in a three-ship class of frigates, entered service with the Royal Danish Navy early this year. The three Iver Huitfeldt frigates will be equipped for a modern fighting role, and will be able to use Tomahawk cruise missiles as the first ships in the Danish Navy.
