The Willemoes-class missile boat was a Royal Danish Navy class of fast missile boats serving from late 1970s until 2000. Designed by Orlogsværftet, in conjunction with the German yard Lürssen, the Willemoes class could achieve a maximum speed in excess of 40 knots (74 km/h; 46 mph). Their weapons consisted of one 76 mm (3 in) OTO Melara gun and combination of RGM-84 Harpoon missiles and torpedo tubes. When the full assortment of eight Harpoons was carried, two 533 mm (21 in) torpedo tubes were carried as well. With Harpoons removed, up to four torpedo tubes could be mounted. Alternatively, it could carry a payload of naval mines.
The guided missile boat HDMS Sehested is now a museum ship at Holmen.
