Frigate building in progress:
Building of the new frigates proceeds according to plan

However it seems as if the information procedures at The Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization requires considerable update in order to give the taxpayer proper information during the building period. [nota: Em Portugal também é assim ]

The Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organization (DALO) told Wednesday November 12th on their home page about the building of the new frigates. In dock 1 at Odense Steel Shipyard Ltd in Munkebo the blocs are welded together and the outline of a ships hull starts to show.

Presently 14 such giant "Legoblocs" has been assembled in the area which in 2010 will constitute the ships engine rooms.

The blocs themselves are produced at two shipyards in the Baltic states owned by Odense Steel Shipyard Ltd – in Loksa in Estonia and Baltija at Kleipeda, Lithuania. When finished they are transported by barge to Odense and placed in dock 1 for assembly.

According to plan the first frigate will be fully assembled in the spring of 2009. Afterwards the fit out with equipment and systems will continue on board in order that DALO can deliver the first frigate with pennant number F361 from yard late 2010.

Lack of information

Since the widely publicized ceremony, June 2nd this year, around placing the first building bloc in the dock – comparable to laying the keel – it has been extremely limited what information on the building process has come from DALO, if any.

But then, Wednesday 12th, DALO managed to come up with a bit of supplementary information, and let it be know that when this site approached DALO to get the pictures for this article of something more than stamp seize they promptly arrived, as can be seen here on site.

Why ordinary information on the largest naval building project in Danish history should be so difficult to obtain would be beyond the imagination of most people, not least the readers here at "Navalhistory.dk".



No admission

Navalhistory.dk has at several occasions tried to obtain pictures that could show the progress of the project, including the offer of taking these picture at the building site, but the building yard has not been able accommodate this mundane wish.

"The shipyard can unfortunately not accommodate your request to photograph the building of the frigates for the Navy. The shipyard do only allow outside photographers to take pictures of the new buildings during their build except on very rare occasions.

In this instance where the ship under build is for the Navy, the rule is not administered less restrictive", this is how a month long correspondence is answered.

So much the more reason to hope that DALO would be more keen to follow up on this project and inform the interested public, and taxpayers who provide the billions of kroners to this project.

Isso é mentira, é um estúdio, são efeitos especiais. Se é verdade é graças à economia de escala que só países grandes como a Dinamarca podem fazer, nós somos pequenos não temos hipótese.

Nova fragata Dinamarquesa em construção

----------------------------------------------







FFG Ivar Huitfeldt class



Notes: These three advanced missile frigates are Danish-designed and built; they will complement and protect the Absalon-class LKAs. They represent a shift in Danish naval philosophy from defending the Baltic to open-ocean power projection. These frigates have fifteen watertight compartments, and will be NBC-sealed and fully air-conditioned. They are intended to be extremely sea-worthy (part of the operations envelope includes missions off Greenland) and the designers claim they can successfully operate a helicopter at 20kts speed in bad weather.

The ships have a massive SAM loadout; additionally it has been discussed to equip them with BGM-109 Tomahawk cruise missiles to add a surface strike capability as well. As of February 2010 no decision had been made on this.

The engine rooms are separated to prevent a single lucky hit from disabling the ship. The funnels are unusually staggered because of this. There are also one Caterpillar 3512 1360kW and one Caterpillar 3508 920kW diesel generators for electrical power separate from the main engines.

The ships will likely visit the UK during their pre-commissioning trials for final installation work and activation of the APAR radar directly by Thales technicians. They have intended design lifetimes of at least 30 years.

Project timeline

Capability studies and long-lead items were ordered in December 2006, with initial costruction scheduling for F-361 starting in 2007. In February 2008 the final go-ahead for all three was given. Ivar Huitfeldt was laid down on 2 June 2008, Peter Willemoes on 12 March 2009, and Niels Juel on 22 December 2009. On 12 August 2009, some critical equipment being imported from the United States (namely, the Mk41 VLS systems for all four ships) arrived in Denmark. By February 2010, Ivar Huitfeldt was nearing structural completion.

Royal Danish Navy sets SM-2 buy as priority, mulls frigate BMD upgrade

Key Points
SM-2 purchase is the top priority for the service, but funding remains the challenge
The navy will also make a decision on a planned frigate BMD upgrade path in 2018

Funding to acquire a stock of Standard Missile-2 (SM-2) Block IIIA medium-range missiles for its Iver Huitfeldt-class frigates is the Royal Danish Navy's (RDN's) top priority, the service's most senior officer has told IHS Jane's.

Speaking on board the Iver Huitfeldt-class frigate HDMS Peter Willemoes (F 362) during an 18 November port visit in Baltimore, Maryland, Chief of the Naval Staff Rear Admiral Frank Trojahn also indicated that a decision would be made on a planned frigate ballistic missile defence (BMD) upgrade path in 2018.

Commissioned between January 2014 and March 2015, the three Iver Huitfeldt frigates - HDMS Iver Huitfeldt, Peter Willemoes, and HDMS Niels Juel - marry a Thales Nederland-supplied Anti Air Warfare System (AAWS), incorporating the active phased array multifunction radar (APAR) I/J-band multifunction radar, the Signaal Multibeam Acquisition Radar for Targeting (SMART)-L D-band volume search radar, and an associated fire-control cluster, with Terma's C-Flex combat management system (CMS). The ships are also fitted with four eight-cell Mk 41 strike length vertical launching systems (VLSs) capable of firing Standard Missile variants.

Similar AAWS suites have been installed on the Royal Netherlands Navy's (RNLN's) four De Zeven Provinciën air-defence and command frigates and the German Navy's three F 124 Sachsen-class air-defence frigates. The APAR radar underpins the ability of the AAWS to engage multiple simultaneous threats using semi-active radar homing RIM-162 Evolved SeaSparrow Missiles (ESSMs) and SM-2 Block IIIA missiles adapted for compatibility with the interrupted continuous wave illumination (ICWI) guidance mode. ICWI exploits the ability of APAR to transmit a series of discrete illumination pulses that can be rapidly switched among multiple targets, providing the necessary homing energy to guide several missiles to their individual assigned targets.

Por aí, num país sem corrupção cínica e deslavada, custam um valor real e aceitável para uma marinha mediana.
