Could the patrol ships also perform mine countermeasures?

StanFlex is offered as a way for a patrol hull to support multiple mine-warfare roles.

Question

Could the proposed patrol vessels also serve as MCMVs?

Short answer

The suggestion is a StanFlex-style modular ship capable of patrol and mine-warfare roles.

Notes

A participant wants the proposed patrol ships to be usable as mine-countermeasures vessels. Alex points to a Danish StanFlex-based example and describes the ability to change between patrol, minesweeping and minelaying roles. The class name is unclear in the captions, leaving the precise ship identity uncertain. He also mentions prospective cooperation with Norway and possibly Denmark as it stood in December 2025.
