Until the <a href="/wiki/Copenhagenization_(naval)" class="mw-redirect" title="Copenhagenization (naval)">copenhagenization</a> of the navy in 1801, and again in 1807, the navy was a major strategic influence in the European geographical area, but since then its size and influence has drastically declined with a change in government policy. Despite this, the navy is now equipped with a number of large state-of-the-art vessels commissioned since the end of the <a href="/wiki/Cold_War" title="Cold War">Cold War</a>. This can be explained by its strategic location as the <a href="/wiki/NATO" title="NATO">NATO</a> member controlling access to the <a href="/wiki/Baltic_Sea" title="Baltic Sea">Baltic</a>. </p><p><span class="anchor" id="HDMS"></span>Danish Navy ships carry the <a href="/wiki/Ship_prefix" title="Ship prefix">ship prefix</a> <b>KDM</b> (<i>Kongelige Danske Marine</i>) in Danish, but this is translated to <b>HDMS</b> (<i>Her / His Danish Majesty's Ship</i>) in English. Denmark is one of the many <a href="/wiki/Members_of_NATO" class="mw-redirect" title="Members of NATO">NATO member states</a> whose navies do not deploy submarines. However, historically Denmark has operated them, the submarines were retired in 2004 as part of cooperative defense agreement and restructuring. The Royal Danish Navy has operated a wide variety of vessels over the years, including different types of submarines, patrol boats, minesweepers, missile boats, and frigates. It has also operated a variety of aircraft, and the use of helicopters for search and rescue missions and transport, for example, has been a part of its mission. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Royal_Danish_Navy&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_Danish_navy" title="History of the Danish navy">History of the Danish navy</a></div> <p>The geographic layout of <a href="/wiki/Denmark_proper" class="mw-redirect" title="Denmark proper">Denmark proper</a> (not including Greenland and the Faroe Islands) has a <a href="/wiki/Coastline" class="mw-redirect" title="Coastline">coastline</a> to land area ratio of 1:5.9.

They were often based in a small number of villages, usually with a common defence agreement; <a href="/wiki/Viking_ship" title="Viking ship">Viking ships</a>, usually of the <i><a href="/wiki/Knarr" title="Knarr">Knarr</a></i> type, were light, and therefore easy to transport from village to village over land. With time, the defence pacts gave rise to larger, more offensive fleets which the Vikings used for <a href="/wiki/Plunder" class="mw-redirect" title="Plunder">plundering</a> coastal areas. In the period after the Vikings, and up to the 15th century, the fleet consisted mainly of merchant vessels. Indeed, it is said that <a href="/wiki/Valdemar_II_of_Denmark" title="Valdemar II of Denmark">king Valdemar Sejr</a> had more than 1,000 ships during the conquest of <a href="/wiki/Estonia" title="Estonia">Estonia</a> in 1219. Together they carried more than 30,000 soldiers with horses and supplies. </p><p>Records exist of a unified Danish navy from the late 14th century. <a href="/wiki/Margaret_I_of_Denmark" title="Margaret I of Denmark">Queen Margaret I</a>, who had just founded the <a href="/wiki/Kalmar_Union" title="Kalmar Union">Kalmar Union</a> (consisting of Denmark, Norway, Sweden, <a href="/wiki/Iceland" title="Iceland">Iceland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Greenland" title="Greenland">Greenland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Faroe_Islands" title="Faroe Islands">Faroe Islands</a>, <a href="/wiki/Shetland" title="Shetland">Shetland</a>, <a href="/wiki/Orkney" title="Orkney">Orkney</a>, parts of <a href="/wiki/Finland" title="Finland">Finland</a> and parts of Germany) ordered the building of a navy – mainly to defend the union against the <a href="/wiki/Hanseatic_League" title="Hanseatic League">Hanseatic League</a>. Earlier the national fleet had consisted of vessels owned and operated by the <a href="/wiki/Nobility" title="Nobility">nobility</a>, but the country as such did not have a navy. The earlier <a href="/wiki/Monarchy" title="Monarchy">monarchs</a> therefore had to rely on <a href="/wiki/Conscription" title="Conscription">conscription</a> from the nobility, which was not always easy as the monarchy itself often had enemies within the nobility. Queen Margaret I gave instructions for a navy to be constituted and maintained under the control of the monarchy. The nobility still had to provide crews (which consisted mainly of "volunteered" farmers) for these ships, though the core crew-members (i.e. <a href="/wiki/Captain_(nautical)#Master" class="mw-redirect" title="Captain (nautical)">masters</a>, <a href="/wiki/Master-at-arms" title="Master-at-arms">master-at-arms</a> and <a href="/wiki/Carpenter" class="mw-redirect" title="Carpenter">master carpenters</a>) could be employed by the monarch.

As shipping was the ideal means of transport at the time, Danish maritime interests had to be further protected. King Hans is credited with establishing a joint <a href="/wiki/Royal_Danish_Navy_(1510%E2%80%931814)" class="mw-redirect" title="Royal Danish Navy (1510–1814)">Dano-Norwegian fleet</a> in 1509, substantially increasing the number of professional crewmembers. They were mainly petty criminals, who had to choose between working in the king's navy or imprisonment. They received basic training in seamanship and carpentry, enabling them to sail the ships. Responsibility for weaponry and combat was still in the hands of conscripted farmers. For these, the country was divided into a number of counties – known in Danish as <i>skipæn</i> (the term <i>skip</i> being related to the Danish word for ship, <i>skib</i>), which would later serve as the Danish <a href="/wiki/Diocese" title="Diocese">dioceses</a>. It was also during this period that dedicated naval bases and shipyards were founded. They would build, maintain and fit out the king's navy.

It has also been more self-sustaining. Under the defence agreement (1995–1999) that initiated the process, several of the old "Cold War" frigates and minesweepers were decommissioned. The <a href="/wiki/Squadron_(naval)" title="Squadron (naval)">squadron</a> structure prior to this defence agreement was as follows: </p> <ul><li>1st Squadron = The North Atlantic Squadron (Danish: 'InspektionsSkibsEskadren' (ISE)) with 5 ocean patrol vessels (1 <i>Beskytteren</i> class, 4 <i>Thetis</i> class), 3 ocean patrol cutters (<i>Agdlek</i> class) and 4 icebreakers</li> <li>2nd Squadron = The Frigate Squadron (Danish: 'FreGatEskadren' (FGE)) with 2 frigates (<i>Peder Skram</i> class), 3 corvettes (<i>Niels Juel</i> class), 14 StanFlex-vessels (<a href="/wiki/Flyvefisken-class_patrol_vessel" title="Flyvefisken-class patrol vessel"><i>Flyvefisken</i> class</a>) and 6 seaward defence craft (<i>Daphne</i> class, decommissioned in 1991)</li> <li>3rd Squadron = The Mine Squadron (Danish: 'MineSkibsEskadren' (MSE)) with 4 minelayers (<i>Falster</i> class), 2 cable-minelayers (<i>Lindormen</i> class) and 7 minesweepers (<i>Sund</i> class, decommissioned in 1999)</li> <li>4th Squadron = The Torpedo Boat Squadron (Danish: 'TorpedoBådsEskadren' (TBE)) with 13 torpedo-/missile boats (8 <a href="/wiki/Willemoes-class" class="mw-redirect" title="Willemoes-class"><i>Willemoes</i> class</a>, 5 <i>Søløven</i> class), 2 oilers (<i>Faxe</i> class) and a truck-detachment with missiles and radars called <i>MOBA</i></li> <li>5th Squadron = The Submarine Squadron (Danish: 'UndervandsBådsEskadren' (UBE)) with 6 submarines (3 <a href="/wiki/Kobben-class_submarine" title="Kobben-class submarine"><i>Tumleren</i> class</a>, 3 <i>Springeren</i> class) and the Frogmans Corps</li></ul> <p>In the defence agreement of 2000–2004, further restructuring of the navy was ordered, as well as the decommissioning of several units.

With the decommissioning of the torpedo boats, the 4th squadron was disbanded and the remnants were transferred to the 2nd squadron. Other units were also decommissioned.
