Willemoes-class was a Royal Danish Navy class of fast missile boats serving from late 1970s until 2000[1] Designed by Orlogsværftet, in conjunction with the German yard Lürssen, [2], the Willemoes class could achieve a maximum speed in excess of 40 knots (74 km / h). Their weapons consisted of one 76 mm OTO Melara Gun and combination of RGM-84 Harpoon missiles and torpedo tubes. When the full assortment of 8 Harpoons was carried, two 553 mm torpedo tubes were carried as well. With Harpoons removed, up to 4 torpedo tubes could be mounted.[3]
The guided missile boat P547 Sehested is now a museum ship at Holmen.
