The first of three Iver Huitfeldt-class frigates was handed over to the Royal Danish Navy by prime contractor Odense Shipyard in Undo on 21 January. Iver Huitfeldt (F 361) then commenced crew familiarisation training with damage-control serials and harbour manoeuvres in Frederik-shavn and Aarhus. Laid down in June 2008 and scheduled to commission in 2012, the vessel will not receive its Thales active phased array radar (APAR) until 2013 at the earliest, a senior officer told Jane's.
