Public summary
The Knud Rasmussen class is Denmark's Arctic patrol vessel class for Greenlandic and North Atlantic waters. The ships support sovereignty patrols, fisheries control, search and rescue, environmental response and local maritime security in harsh conditions. Their ice-capable design and practical patrol systems make them more important as Arctic presence ships than as combatants.
