Danish ‘motherships’ could help tackle the Nordic range challenge - Breaking Defense

With NATO’s expansion to include Sweden and Finland, how the Nordic nations rework their national security approaches and capabilities is a major challenge — and an opportunity. The Kingdom of Denmark could play an important role in triggering innovative thinking and shaping ways ahead for Nordic integration. The Kingdom is much bigger than the country of Denmark itself, including both Greenland and the Faroe Islands. And as such, the Kingdom’s territory forms, in effect, the strategic rear for a Nordic integration effort — and requires operating over distances that a non-Dane might simply not think of as facing their small navy and air force.
