The closing discussion describes a sloop through its balance of capabilities and limitations rather than a fixed list of weapons. Denmark's StanFlex approach offers a modern comparison for obtaining useful operational flexibility from a relatively modest platform. The analogy returns to the interwar practice of changing fittings to suit different missions. It is a design comparison and does not claim that modern Danish ships reproduce every historical sloop role or construction standard.
