HDMS Peder Skram (F352) was a Peder Skram-class frigate in the Royal Danish Navy which was in use until 1990. It is now docked at Holmen in Copenhagen where it serves as a privately operated museum ship along with the ships of the Royal Danish Naval Museum. The ship is named after Peder Skram, a 16th-century Danish admiral.
Construction and career
[edit]She was laid down on 25 September 1964 and launched on 20 May 1965 by Helsingør Skinsværft, Elsinore. Commissioned on 25 May 1966.
Peder Skram was an innovative design using a hybrid propulsion system, a combined gas turbine and diesel approach (CODOG).[2] Peder Skram underwent significant refit in 1970 and a midlife update 1977–78 [3]
On 11 June 1980, along with a minelayer Falster, by aggressive manoeuvring, drove off Polish command landing ship ORP Grunwald, reconnoitering Dannish coast near Hesselø island.[4]
1982 Harpoon missile incident
[edit]In 1982 Peder Skram was involved in the accidental launch of a Harpoon missile, which inflicted no bodily harm.
Peder Skram was decommissioned in 1990, internal installations were auctioned off as scrap two years later. In the mid-1990s it was decided to restore her as a museum ship.
Peder Skram is today operated as a museum ship on a volunteer basis. It is open to visitors every day from 11am to 5pm in the school summer and autumn vacations and in all weekends in June and August.[5]
