The Niels Juel Class were made up from a three ship class of corvettes, They were in service with the Royal Danish Navy from 1978 until 2009. They were built in Aalborg Shipyard in Denmark and were launched in the period 1978-1980. In 1998-2000 the three vessels had a mid-life update, as well as a large update on the electrical systems.
The three ships were named HDMS Niels Juel (F354) (nicknamed NIJU), HDMS Olfert Fischer (F355) (nicknamed OLFI) and HDMS Peter Tordenskiold (F356) (nicknamed PETO). All three vessels were named after famous Danish Admirals, with the debatabale exception of Peter Tordenskjold, a Norwegian-born officer who served during the personal union of Norway and Denmark from 1415 to 1814.
The ships were scheduled for replacement by the Ivar Huitfeldt class frigates.
