Denmark to send warship
Read this on Go Captain. Nowhere on Earth do pirates strike more often than the Gulf of Guinea, where more than 130 sailors were taken hostage last year. The area is more dangerous than the Somali coast.
Denmark are to send a Frigate to the Gulf of Guinea to help combat Piracy.F805_Evertsen.jpg, This was the photo posted with the article.??? the Danes must be getting the lend of one!!

Apparently, they have 3,400 personnel + 200 conscripts 16 ships, 28 vessels and 30 boats.
Report from last year - Britain goes with Danish design for new Navy frigates:

Re: Denmark to send warship
Must admit I always thought the Luxembourg flag was similar to the German flag, but learn something everyday. Lux.jpg
dutch.jpg The Blue on the Dutch one is a bit darker? The frigate in the photo is the Dutch frigate Evertsen .
