History Of The Danish Navy
The history of the Danish navy began with the founding of a joint Dano-Norwegian navy on 10 August 1510, when King John appointed his vassal Henrik Krummedige to become "chief captain and head of all our captains, men and servants whom we now have appointed and ordered to be at sea". The joint fleet was dissolved when Christian Fredrick established separate fleets for Denmark and Norway on 12 April 1814. These are the modern ancestors of today's Royal Danish Navy and Royal Norwegian Navy. The task of the navy The primary task of the fleet in the first period of its existence was to counter the power of the Hanseatic League and secure control in the Baltic Sea. The fleet was expanded to be one of the largest in Europe under the direction Christian IV with 50-105 larger warships and a large number of brigs and sloops, numbering in total around 75.

Norske Løve (1704)
''Norske Løve'' was a ship with 36 cannons owned and operated by the Danish East India Company. History The ship's bell is dated to 1704, although a ''Norske Løve'' was recorded as running a cargo of slaves for the Danish East India Company in the Indian Ocean in 1682. Similarly, a ''Norske Løve'' is recorded calling at the Danish colony of Tranquebar in 1690 and 1706, although this may have been one of the numerous Dano-Norwegian Navy vessels of that name. ''Norske Løve'' left Copenhagen on 4 December 1707. She was hit by lightning on December 18. On the 19th, her master Roluf Meincke decided to cut the main mast, which brought the mizzen mast down with it. Around noon the same day, a breaker hit her, killing 14 men and damaging the ship further. On 31 December 1707, ''Norske Løve'' sank in Lambavík in the Faroe Islands. Around 100 men survived. Salvage of the ship began immediately, but a landslide during the night buried it, whence it has not been recovered. The ship' ...

Norske Løve Fortress
Norske Løve is the name of a 19th-century fortress built from 1852 to 1859 to protect Karljohansvern naval station at Horten in Norway. Overview Norske Løve (literally, 'Norwegian Lion') is a reference to the lion on the Coat of Arms of Norway. The fort is still a military area, but is today only used as an administration building for the Norwegian naval officers training school. The fort was constructed by Baltazar Nicolai Garben. The primary construction material was limestone, reinforced with granite. The fortress structure was fitted with heavy artillery on several floors protected by casemates. It has a moat which can be filled with water and was originally fitted with a circular envelope with 22 open casemates each holding a 3-ton cannon. The fort originally had a complement of 500 men. The open casemates were walled up by the Germans during World War II, but otherwise the fort is largely in its original form. Picture Gallery File:Norskelove1.JPG, Norske Løve, fort ...

Norske Løve, Køge
Norske Løve is a former mail and coaching inn in Køge, Denmark. It takes its name after the naval ship commanded by Niels Juel in the Battle of Køge Bay in 1677. The main wing from 1801-1811 is listed. History An earlier building at the site was known as Ravnsborg after Mads Tavn, Køge's mayor, who owned it from 1630. During the Dano-Swedish War in 1658–1660, the building was demolished upon orders from the Swedish officer Erik Lyster. In 1720, a new building was constructed on the site which in that day was still surrounded by fields. The town only continued as far north as Accisevej/Allegade. Town musician S. J.F.Krebs, who owned it from 1742, ran an illegit inn in the building. In 1759, after a renovation of the buildings, he obtained a royal license to operate a mail and coaching inn. It was given the name Norske Løve after one of the naval ships that participated in the Battle of Køge Bay on 1 July 1767. It was commanded by Niels Juel, had a crew of 568 men and ...
