A Danish-led common fleet for northern European navies

What would you change in the Danish, Dutch, and Norwegian navies with broad budget freedom?

Build more Danish modular ships, retain national strengths such as Norwegian submarines and Dutch OPVs, and seek commonality where it makes sense.

The proposed force plan continues Denmark's modular shipbuilding approach and extends compatible designs across Danish, Dutch, and Norwegian fleets. Iver Huitfeldt-class combatants and Absalon-class command ships provide the common large-hull foundation. National strengths, including Norwegian submarines and Dutch offshore patrol vessels, remain in place where one shared class would not suit every mission. The proposal balances multinational commonality with specialization where local expertise is already strong.
