On the contrary, the Danish navy seems to focus the most on anti-surface warfare compared to other NATO navies. This ship has space reserved for 16 Harpoon missiles, twice the number seen on your average USN/Brit/French warship. And system of swappable weapons modules that the Danes use allows them to use different weapons for different missions.

However, as the article says, the only thing holding them back is funds. Hence, the 76 mm gun hasn’t been replaced by a 5 inch.

Yes, I am aware of the Harpoons, but this class is classified as an air-defense frigate and that is why I focused my discussion on that aspect of its capabilities.
