HDMS Absalon, one of the most modern warships in the world, has set sail to stop modern-day pirates off the coast of Somalia. Modern-day pirates have been terrorizing the waters off Somalia, capturing ships and taking hostages at gunpoint with increasing frequency. Brand-new and state-of-the-art, HDMS Absalon has set sail to stop them. HDMS Absalon is sleek, futuristic and well-equipped to battle the pirates she encounters. She carries surface to air missiles, torpedoes, and helicopters. Her roll-on/roll-off flexible deck can accommodate vehicles up to 62 tons, like the Leopard II main battle tank. She's designed for naval warfare, land attack, strategic sealift missions or as a command platform.
