The Iver Huitfeldt class is a class of air defense frigates for the navy of the Kingdom of Denmark, which is derived from the Absalon class. They broke from the ships of the Niels Juel - class.

History

The construction of three per 6,645 tons displacing ships was approved in 2004 and the shipyard Odense Staalskibsværft ( Lindø shipyard) was commissioned in December 2006 with the construction. The design is a derivative of two 6,300 tons displacing operational support ships of the Absalon class. However, they lack the vehicle deck, so they have a deeper aft helicopter deck. The position of the stack has also been modified to reduce the impact of the exhaust gases by radar.

The sections are to the Baltija Shipyard in Klaipeda, Lithuania, and has been awarded its former subsidiary Loksa Shipbuilding, Estonia. Baltija builds the lower front, lower rear and the keel section, Loksa the upper and central fuselage section and the superstructure. For mounting, the sections are transported to Odense for assembly. Much of the equipment is done by Forsvarets Hovedvaerksteder, a subsidiary of the Danish military procurement and logistics organization ( Forsvarets Materieltjeneste - FMT).

The type of ship Iver Huitfeldt was passed on 21 January 2011, the Navy and first tested extensively before it was put into service in 2012. 2011, were still taken until the APAR radar, the internals responsibility of the FMT. The two sister ships to the already obtained at commissioning and on the Huitfeldt it is then, at the earliest in 2013, retrofitted.

The first use leads Iver Huitfeldt from October 2012 to the Horn of Africa.
