Danish Navy ordered the third Knud Rasmussen class ship to protect the Arctic

The Danish Ministry of Defense has ordered a Knud Rasmussen class warship for operations in Greenland and throughout the Arctic region, according to soldaternyt.dk.

In the mid-1990s, the Navy launched a plan to replace obsolete Agdlek-class ships. The first two Knud Rasmussen class ships were handed over the fleet in mid-2008. The first contract also included an agreement under which, if necessary, a third ship could be built.

Knud Rasmussen class ships, which are designed to operate off the coast of Greenland, have better seaworthiness and increased autonomy for operation in the most difficult conditions of the Arctic: low temperatures and severe weather conditions.

The new ship will be built at the shipyard Karstensens Skibsværft, where two previous ships Knud Rasmussen (in the photo) and Ejnar Mikkelsen were built.

A series of ships named in honor of the Danish polar Knud Rasmussen.

The new ship is likely to become part of the Arctic Command 31, created by 2012 in October, with headquarters in Nuuk (Grendandia). The Arctic Command is a military operational command, whose main tasks are to protect Greenland and the Faroe Islands, to protect territorial waters, fish inspection, search and rescue. In addition, civilian tasks, such as combating pollution, are included.

The area of ​​responsibility extends from the waters of the Faroe Islands in the East Greenland Sea and the Arctic Ocean in the north to the Danish Strait and the Irminger Sea, the Davis Strait and the Baffin Sea between Canada and Greenland.

What was your geography at school? Look at the globe - there near the North Pole you will find a huge island, called Greenland. This is autonomy within the Danish kingdom.
In general, in the polar latitudes, there’s a lot of rubbish about, so ice-class military vessels are necessary for any country conducting business in high latitudes.

There is nothing to do in Denmark in the Arctic, it is better to take care of yourself.

For a long time, Arctic minerals were unattainable. However, with climate change, in the not too distant future, the Arctic will be free of ice for the summer. However, neighboring states are already arguing over its territorial affiliation, and the "cold war" around the Arctic no longer seems incredible.
Scientists from the US Geological Survey (US Geological Survey) in the journal "Science" described in detail where and in what quantity is supposed to be the presence of minerals. There are over 400 fields in the Arctic with proven reserves of oil (over 6 billion tons) and natural gas (over 31 trillion cubic meters). The undiscovered oil reserves in the Arctic (according to preliminary data) are about 12 billion tons. For comparison: only known reserves of Saudi Arabia are 36 billion tons.
In addition, do not forget about the territorial dispute between Denmark and Canada around the island of Hans, which lies in the Northwest Passage separating Greenland and the Canadian island of Elsmere. The small, rocky and uninhabited island of Hans is not of special value in itself, but a country that proves its claim to Hans will also gain control over the strait, which will significantly cut the way for transport vessels traveling through the Arctic, and the state that controls it will be able to make billions of dollars, the publication claims. Moreover, the strait is gradually losing its ice cover during global warming. So everything is still ahead ... That's why they are slowly arming themselves

By the way, Antarctica expects something similar.
The South Pole, unlike its northern counterpart, has a longer and more interesting history of the struggle for it between world powers, which has been going on for a century. Britain was the first to declare its views of Antarctica in 1908. The Third Reich claimed to be the icy territory, declaring its land the Queen Maud and calling it “New Swabia”, and even the virtual states Immortia and the Dominion of Melchizedek, which were not recognized by anyone. The heated debate about the South Pole subsided in the middle of the last century. In 1959, the Antarctic Convention was signed, according to which the continent does not belong to any state. The deployment of military facilities, as well as the approach of warships at a close distance to Antarctica is prohibited. And in the 80 years this territory was also declared a nuclear-free zone, which theoretically excludes the entry of atomic cruisers into its waters.
However, the 1959 agreement of the year contained a significant reservation: “Nothing contained in this agreement shall be construed as a waiver by any of the Contracting Parties of the previously declared rights or claims to territorial sovereignty in the Antarctic.” This allows Australia, Argentina, Great Britain, New Zealand, Norway, France and Chile, despite the agreement, to continue to enthusiastically divide the continent. Moreover, Argentina, Britain and Chile are claiming the same territories, while the rest of the participants have chosen for themselves "isolated" sites. In addition, Brazil announced its views on the polar ice, although not officially.
The United States and Russia in this situation took a special position: they do not recognize the territorial claims of other countries, do not put forward their own, but informed all parties concerned that if the continent is divided, they will not stand aside. And the fact that the division of the Antarctic will happen, experts have little doubt. The moratorium on geological exploration of the Antarctic shelf is about to expire, and by 2020, the Americans promised to begin oil production there. The reserves of "black gold" on the southernmost continent are estimated at approximately 50 billion barrels. In addition, Antarctica is the “repository” of 90% of fresh water reserves, the lack of which, as scientists predict, will arise on the planet in the near future ...
something like that

[makarov]

and so, I AM ABOUT THE SAME, but the people think differently ... probably they support the interests of Denmark, a poor and oppressed ALL country ...

If anyone tries to help the Americans, they have one of the elements of the weather weapon "harp" located there.

Polar bears scare, will.

[Sars]

And the approach to ship design is correct - "for high latitudes and ice conditions."
As I understand it - the Mistrals in the north have nothing to do - they will freeze!

on the Northern Sea Route, any vessels plan to conduct, so why not make the Mistral in the polar version?
What will prevent him from working as part of an icebreaking order? ...

The new ship, in all likelihood, will be part of the Arctic Command created on October 31, 2012, with headquarters in Nuuk (Greenland). Hot Scandinavian guys stirred.

In September 2008, Russia adopted the “Fundamentals of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the Arctic for the period to 2020 and beyond” and became the first Arctic state to develop its long-term strategy for the Arctic region. The example of Russia was followed by other Arctic countries. One of the last in this chain was Denmark, whose government, in agreement with the self-governing bodies of Greenland and the Faroe Islands, in August 2011 approved the “Strategy of the Kingdom of Denmark for the Arctic for 2011–2020”.

Each in its own way solves the problems of the northern delivery, however, it seems, leading to an early export. Thank God, we also do not stand still in solving these issues, the main thing is to prevent force-based methods of solution.

If someone serious comes up with a gop stop Denmark, these boats will not bother him. And greenpeace will come down with interest.

We have enough of our lands, and the northern fleet is the largest.

The other day I was just reading about the Danish fleet. In a small country, it is quite impressive.

“The return of Russia to the Arctic should be supported by an integrated approach to the development prospects of this land rich in hydrocarbon and bioresources,” said Leonid Ivashov. “Moreover, this is where the Northern Sea Route lies, which many NATO countries are already claiming. In particular, recently the military and naval forces of the USA, Canada, Norway and other Western countries have become more active in the region. "

Thank you, it's very nice to receive meaningful answers with real information. "Ocean" is what you need. An excellent ship should turn out.

They won’t pull along with us. Only they can play a game))).
As a rule, we already have an adequate answer ready - we know something - but 90% is not.
Et and good

America will soon make Greenland an independent state, because there are so many minerals. Therefore, in vain they build ships they simply will not have the Arctic.

So far, I have counted 18 people from the organization "defenders of deposits (and bedsores) of Denmark" on the site.

this is real, but in the previous article, our troops rode on the same snowmobile, they feel whose interests are cooler

Well, the Danes should fight for the Arctic ... They also fought great with Hitler before.

(in the voice of an exalted Latvian commentator): an adequate response to the Northern Fleet of the Russian Federation. The cannon of the Danish corvette is looking menacingly at the Peter the Great TARK and the Admiral Kuznetsov AV.
