Waldemar - Orlogsskib |
 | | Waldemar had exactly the same "as designed" principle dimensions as did Henrik Gerner's "masterpiece," the Neptunus, an also exactly the same Danish crew establishment as Neptunus, but Waldemar's armament differed slightly, as the Neptunus carried 30-36 pdrs., 30-24 pdrs., and 20-12 pdrs. |
 | | The Waldemar is similar to Neptunus in continuing the great "innovation" (i.e., for the Danish navy, where it was long overdue) of utilizing 24 pdrs. |
 | | The curious fact about Waldemar after her seizure by Britain is that, unlike all of the Hohlenberg-designed Danish battleships, the powerful Waldemar was never employed in sea service by the British, and this raises the compelling question of why the British did not employ Waldemar operationally. |
