This was the dansih command ship from 1673 to 1710 its a heavy armed ship. it was the main ship and the biggets line-of-ship in the dansih fleet. and with 163 guns its a mighty ship
this ship is 1 of my favorite ships. because that ship fought in the battle of the bay of Køge under the command of Ivar Huitfeldts on the 4th of October 1710 where the ship caught fire and sank as the powder magazine exploded. it took the half of the enemy fleet with it.
and that turned the battle and we won the battle. i live i 'køge' and thats why i love this ship.

Bezzle86 · Did the British ever return Danish fleet

After the second battle of Copenhagen were the British navy kindly took the Danish navy, as to prevent napoleons grubby french mitts getting hold of it did the British return it after the war.

Napoleon's navy was a navy incompetent, it could never stand up to the might of the British Navies

HMS Victory, and the organisation of the British navy was far superior, through their admiralties, then any organisation that had come out from the French.

That is why when the British under Horatio Nelson absolutely annihilated, the French had to go with their stupid idea of a continental system, which epically failed, because merchant still smuggled goods in Poking Tongue

At any rate when Russia wanted to trade with England and stopped it, thus came the Russian offensive of Napoleon which failed. Nevertheless the Danish always had their lands that were theres, though their hayday was over.
