Willemoes-class was a Royal Danish Navy class of fast missile boats serving from late 1970s until 2000 The crafts were based on the Swedish Navy crafts Spica II and could achieve maximum speed of 40 knots (74 km / h). Their weapons consisted of one 76 mm OTO Melara Gun and combination of RGM-84 Harpoon missiles and torpedo tubes. When the full assortment of 8 Harpoons was carried, two 553 mm torpedo tubes were carried as well. With Harpoons removed, up to 4 torpedo tubes could be mounted.
