HDMS Niels Juel is one of three Iver Huitfeldt class of air defence frigates that entered service with the Royal Danish Navy in 2012 and 2013.
Only 10 miles to the west in Rosyth, The Royal Navy’s new
Type31 frigates are being built with this being the parent design.
The Type 31 frigate or Inspiration class, and formerly known as the Type 31e frigate or General-Purpose Frigate (GPF), is a planned class of frigate intended to enter service with the United Kingdom's Royal Navy in the 2020s alongside the submarine-hunting Type 26 frigate. Designed by Babcock International, it is also marketed under the name Arrowhead 140 and is based on Odense Maritime Technology’s (OMT) Iver Huitfeldt-class frigate hull.
It is intended that the Type 31 frigate will replace some of the general-purpose Type 23 frigates. The Type 31 is part of the British government's "National Shipbuilding Strategy".
