Why Denmark's navy makes strategic sense

Which Western navy is strongest strategically, and how should others escape strategic drift?

He favors Denmark, followed by Italy and Japan, because they design forces around real strategic needs rather than abstract requirements.

Denmark ranks first, followed by Italy and Japan, because each navy makes a serious effort to match procurement with its geostrategic position. Denmark stands out for producing ships that fit national tasks instead of importing an abstract model of naval power. Early investment in StanFlex gave the service modularity that had already been worked through in practice. That mature system contrasts with the far more complicated modular promises associated with the US Littoral Combat Ship, where expanding requirements undermined the original idea.
