A Danish Type 31 could demonstrate StanFlex to Britain

What would Danish selection of Type 31 mean for the design and for British naval procurement?

Denmark would likely demand StanFlex, giving Britain a practical modular-frigate example, but the system helps only if it supports adequate hull numbers rather than cuts them.

Type 31 descends from the Danish Iver Huitfeldt design, so a Danish purchase would return an updated version of a familiar frigate. Denmark is expected to require StanFlex compatibility, giving British yards direct experience of integrating the modular system. Type 31 is described as retaining enough of its design heritage to accept the necessary module connections. A common light-frigate hull could then carry modules for drone support, air defense, or other roles. Foxo raises the risk that officials would use interchangeable roles to justify fewer ships. The other speakers agree that modularity would help only if enough hulls were bought to meet simultaneous demands.
