To date, Denmark has planned to acquisition 15 frigates and large sea-going patrolmen over the next 20-25 years. fresh ships in the future would replace both Absalon-type frigates and previously the 4 oldest frigates (officially patrol ships) of Thetis-type. On the another hand, patrolmen of 5-6 copies would be equivalent to corvettes due to combat capabilities, and in peacetime they served as environmental guards. In 2023 there was a task to support this fleet with six units of kind known as MPV80. This was to be displacement of 1100 tonnes of "patrols" armed with anti-ship missiles.
