English-Danish translations for frigate

fregatSå sent som i sidste uge hjalp en fregat fra den nederlandske flåde et tysk handelsskib. Only last week, a frigate of the Dutch Navy helped free a German merchant ship. Seks fregatter, tre marinepatruljefly og en styrke på 1 200 mand fra Det Forenede Kongerige, Frankrig og Grækenland vil deltage i operationen. Six frigates, three maritime patrol aircraft and 1 200 personnel from the United Kingdom, France and Greece will take part in the operation. Medlemsstaterne står åbenbart ikke og tripper af utålmodighed for at medvirke til operationelle aktiviteter. Derfor glæder det mig, at Nederlandene omsider er rede til at sende en fregat. Obviously, the Member States are not exactly champing at the bit to participate in operational activities, and I am therefore pleased that the Netherlands has finally agreed to deploy a frigate.

An obsolete type of sailing warship with a single continuous gun deck, typically used for patrolling, blockading, etc, but not in line of battle
A modern type of warship, smaller than a destroyer, originally introduced as an anti-submarine vessel but now general purpose
