TYPE: Frigate PEDER SKRAM-class NAME: NUMBER: LAID DOWN: COMPLETED: PEDER SKRAM F.352 September 1964 June 1966 HERLUF TROLLE F.353 Decem~er 1964 April 1967 Displacement: 2720 Length f"t.: 397 Beam f"t.: 40 Draught f"t.: 12 Engine: 2 diesel engines each of" 2400 BHP 2 gasturbines each of" 22.000 BHP Speed: Diesel 16,5 knots Gasturbines 32,5 knots Complement: 112 Remarks: The f"rigates are named af"ter two f"amous Danish admirals. They are built in Danish shipyard within the f"rame of the Danish/ American Cost Sharing Prog e, which was commenced in 1959. Originally they were armed with two double 5" all purpose guns plus 4 40 mm anti-aircraf"t guns. The frigates are now undertaking a midlife conversion, so in the future they will be armed with SEA SPARROW-missiles, HAR­ POON-missiles, one double 5" all purpose gun plus 40 mm's and a new type of torpedo. Thus, being of considerable strength,they are regarded as being the backbone of the naval defence, each of them acting as the tactical leader of the two surface action groups being established in wartime. TYPE: Corvette TRITON-class NAME: NUMBER I LAUNCHED: TRANSFEJUlED: BELLONA F.344 JaDUary 1955 JaDUary 1957 FLORA F.346 JUDe 1955 August 1956 TRITON F.347 September 1954 August 1955 Displacement: 873 Length 1't.: 250 Beam 1't.: 32 Draught 1't.: 9 Engine: 2 diesel engines each 01' 2200 BHP Speed: 20 knots C8lDplement: 110 Remarks: The corvettes are built in Italy for the Royal Danish Navy under the United States 01'f-Shore Account. They are 01' the same class as the Italian ALBATROS-class. Originally 4 corvettes vere transferred to the Royal Danish Navy, but the 1'ourth named DIANA vas scrapped in 1974. They are armed with two 3" all purpose guns plus one 40 mm anti-aircraft. They have a considerable amount of depth charges and hedgehog. They will within the next few years be replaced with a new type of Danish built corvette. TYPE: Seaward Defence Craft· DAPHNE-c1ass NAME: NUMBER: LAID DOWN: COMPLETED: DAPHNE P.530 April 1960 December 1961 DRYADEN P.531 July 1960 April 1962 HAVMANDEN P.532 November 1960 August 1962 HAVFRUEN P.533 March 1961 December 1962 NAJ"ADEN P.534 September 1961 Apri1 1963 NYMFEN P·535 April 1962 October 1963 NEPTUN P.536 September 1962 December 1963 RAN P.537 December 1962 May 1964 ROTA P.538 July 1963 January 1965 Displacement: 170 Length ft.: 121 Beam ft.: 20 Draught ft.: 6,5 Engine: 2 diesels each of 1300 BHP Speed: 20 knots Complement: 23 Remax 'ks: The Seaward Defence Craft are all built at the Royal Dock­ yard in Copenhagen, four of them under the United States Off-Shore Procurement. The DAPHNE-class was constxucted to patrol inshore Danish waters in close cooperation with the naval districts. They are equipped with one 40 mm anti-aircraft gun, depth­ charges and a 51 mm rocket launcher. They contribute with a notable effect to the surveillance and control with the Baltic Approaches. The DAPHNE-class will be replaced in the mid -80ies. The type to replace them is under consideration at the present, and depending on those considerations it might be a dual purpose type with the aim of having surveillance, control, and minesweeping performed by the same type of ship. TYPE: Fast Attack Craft Torpedo FALKEN-class NAME: NUMBER: LAID DOWN: COMPLETED: FALKEN P.506 November 1960 October 1962 GLENTEN P.507 January 1961 December 1962 GRIBBEN P.508 May 1961 April 196) H0GEN P.509 September 1961 June 196) Disp~acement: 119 Length ft.: 118 Beam ft.: 18 Draught ft.: 6 Engine: ) diesel engines each of )000 BHP Speed: 40 knots Complement: 2) Remarks: The FALKEN-class Fast Patrol Boats are all built in the Royal Dockyard in Copenhagen under United States of America Off­ Shore Procurement in the Military Aid Programme. They are constructed as a modern version of the traditional Second World War fast patrol boat. They are armed with one 40 mm anti-aircraft gun, one 20 mm anti-aircraft plus four 4~n torpedo tubes. They have a modern torpedo firing control system, which operates the torpedo salvo through wire-guidance. They are at the moment being phased out coordinated with the commissioning of the fast patrol boats mentioned under the new construction programme.

  • Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress
    Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress September 16, 2021 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov RL32665 Navy Force Structure and Shipbuilding Plans: Background and Issues for Congress Summary The current and planned size and composition of the Navy, the annual rate of Navy ship procurement, the prospective affordability of the Navy’s shipbuilding plans, and the capacity of the U.S. shipbuilding industry to execute the Navy’s shipbuilding plans have been oversight matters for the congressional defense committees for many years. In December 2016, the Navy released a force-structure goal that calls for achieving and maintaining a fleet of 355 ships of certain types and numbers. The 355-ship goal was made U.S. policy by Section 1025 of the FY2018 National Defense Authorization Act (H.R. 2810/P.L. 115- 91 of December 12, 2017). The Navy and the Department of Defense (DOD) have been working since 2019 to develop a successor for the 355-ship force-level goal. The new goal is expected to introduce a new, more distributed fleet architecture featuring a smaller proportion of larger ships, a larger proportion of smaller ships, and a new third tier of large unmanned vehicles (UVs). On June 17, 2021, the Navy released a long-range Navy shipbuilding document that presents the Biden Administration’s emerging successor to the 355-ship force-level goal. The document calls for a Navy with a more distributed fleet architecture, including 321 to 372 manned ships and 77 to 140 large UVs. A September 2021 Congressional Budget Office (CBO) report estimates that the fleet envisioned in the document would cost an average of between $25.3 billion and $32.7 billion per year in constant FY2021 dollars to procure.

  • De-Overvie Nato Defence Planning Capability Review
    ràai NORTH ATlANTIC COUNCIL L nL •)VÀ1LI CONSEIL DE UATLANTIQUE NoRD 22 May 2014 DOCUMENT C-M(2014)0027 (DE-OVERVIE NATO DEFENCE PLANNING CAPABILITY REVIEW 201312014 DENMARK OVERVIEW 1. The 2013-2017 Defence Agreement agreed in November 2012 by seven of the eight political parties represented in the Danish Parliament introduced measures to improve efficiency and inciudes a reduction of the defence budget by approximately 12% of the 2013 budget. As a result there will be major changes to the structure of the armed forces. However, there is a clear political objective that the budget cuts will not impact operational capability. Continued participation in operations is a priority within the Danish defence organisation and forces will continue to be configured to be able to deploy at short notice. The freeing of money spent on operations in Afghanistan, as a result of a reduced level of forces, will be reinvested in defence, into programmes designed to maintain operational capabilities in terms of training and materiel, but will not fully compensate for the budget reductions. 2. The aim of Denmark’s foreign and security policy is the promotion of national security and prosperity based on core values of freedom, democracy and human rights. NATO remains a cornerstone of Danish security and defence policy. Denmark’s armed forces, contributing to the defence dimension of its pro-active foreign and security policy, are actively engaged in current international operations, conducted under the aegis of NATO or the UN. Active engagement in the Arctic/High North is also of strategic importance to Denmark and to that end, in October 2012, two existing structures were merged into a Joint Arctic Command which was established in Nuuk, Greenland.

  • Ship of Shame Gender and Nation in Narratives of the 1981 Soviet Submarine Crisis in Sweden
    Ship of Shame Gender and Nation in Narratives of the 1981 Soviet Submarine Crisis in Sweden ✣ Cecilia Ase˚ On the evening of 27 October 1981, a Soviet submarine, U-137, ran aground and was stranded on a rock in a restricted military area near a naval base in Karlskrona, in the southeastern part of Sweden. The boat was discovered the next morning by a local fisherman, who alerted the authorities. Until 6 November, when the submarine was restored to a Soviet fleet waiting beyond the limits of Sweden’s territorial waters, it remained an object of marked military attention and intense diplomatic negotiations. Media coverage of the incident was extensive and made headline news in Sweden and around the world. From Sweden’s perspective, the submarine was a security threat and a flagrant breach of the country’s territorial sovereignty. After the delayed dis- covery of the boat, the Swedish military acted resolutely. Heavily armed troops filled the islands surrounding the submarine, numerous military vessels took positions nearby, and marine helicopters and air force planes circled the area. However, as the diplomatic negotiations became protracted, the sense of shock and disbelief diminished, and concern over national prestige and reputation became all the more rampant. A sense of danger returned with renewed force on the afternoon of 5 November, when Prime Minister Thorbjorn¨ Falldin¨ announced with restrained emotion at a press conference that the submarine carried nuclear weapons.1 This declaration was sensational news and made the violation of Swedish territory appear all the more serious. In the decade following the U-137 episode, the Swedish military was involved in numerous other submarine searches, evicting what were ostensibly foreign submarines from Swedish waters and dropping sink bombs.

  • Shifting Currents in the Arctic Perspectives from Three Arctic Littoral States
    NORTHERN CONNECTIONS MAY 2019 Shifting Currents in the Arctic Perspectives from Three Arctic Littoral States The Arctic is a beautiful but demanding region. The sun sets in October and does not return until March; temperatures average 32 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer and -40 degrees Fahrenheit in winter; and infrastructure is limited or absent. It is a place of many contradictions, no more so than now, when economic activity is increasing and national, geostrategic interests are confronting established practices of international cooperation and rules and norms. Russian president Vladimir Putin’s speech at the Arctic International Forum in St. Petersburg earlier this month foreshadowed this confrontation. He portrayed Russia as a facilitator in the making the Northern Sea Route (NSR) “safe and commercially feasible” for all nations, even as Russia is acting in contravention of international law by charging application fees and harbor/navigation costs. (Russia views the NSR as an internal passage; the international community views it as an international passage.) Equally, though Putin has denied any military tension in the Arctic, Russia is sending new units and capabilities to the region, including a new Arctic rifle brigade and S-400 missile systems, and conducting live-fire naval drills. Three Arctic coastal nations and NATO members represented in the essays below—Canada, the Kingdom of Denmark, and the United States—are well aware of the contradictions, challenges, and opportunities presented by increased economic and military activity in the Arctic and are adjusting their strategies and resources accordingly. While each approach is unique, there are several common elements. These include an increased focus on maritime surveillance and situational awareness, investment in more sustainable, survivable platforms, and a doubling down on joint and whole-of-government approaches to reflect the multiple missions in the Arctic.

  • M2089 Selected German Documents from the Records of the Naval
    M2089 SELECTED GERMAN DOCUMENTS FROM THE RECORDS OF THE NAVAL RECORDS COLLECTION OF THE OFFICE OF NAVAL RECORDS AND LIBRARY, 1897–1917 Timothy P. Mulligan prepared the Introduction and arranged these records for microfilming. National Archives and Records Administration Washington, DC 2006 INTRODUCTION On the four rolls of this microfilm publication, M2089, are reproduced the contents of 34 logbooks and other bound volumes of original German Navy and merchant marine records located among the Naval Records Collection of the Office of Naval Records and Library, 1897–1917, Record Group (RG) 45. The materials reproduced here constitute a part of those original German documents approved for restitution to the Bundesarchiv following the latter’s request and subsequent negotiations with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA). For these German documents, microfilm publication M2089 represents the record copy retained by NARA. BACKGROUND President John Adams authorized the establishment of the Navy Department Library on March 31, 1800. Originally a component of the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, the Navy Department Library was transferred by Navy Department General Order 292 on March 23, 1882, to the newly established Office of Naval Intelligence. There an unofficial adjunct staff to the Library, designated the Naval War Records Office, came into being in 1882 to compile for publication selected documents on naval aspects of the Civil War. On July 7, 1884, the Naval War Records Office and the Navy Department Library were formally consolidated by the Naval Appropriation Act (23. Stat. 185) into the Office of Library and Naval War Records. In October 1889 the Office was returned to the Office of the Secretary of the Navy, and assumed custody of the pre-1886 office files of the Secretary of the Navy.
