Among modern frigates, the Iver Huitfeldt class is presented as a particularly successful example of cruiser-like duties. The design is not perfect, but it offers an effective response to the need for an affordable and capable global combatant. Its hull, modular arrangements, and intended employment give other navies practical design lessons. A larger Danish force could combine three Absalon-class ships with about six Iver Huitfeldts in three small squadrons. That proposal turns the frigate-versus-cruiser debate into a concrete force structure.
