Training Cruiser HDMS Niels Juel pictured in 1939.Built by Orlogsværftet Shipyards at Copenhagen,originally designed as a Monitor in 1918,construction was slowed by the war and she was redesigned as a Training Cruiser. Completed in 1923 she made training cruises to the Black and Mediterranean Seas, South America and numerous shorter visits to ports in northern Europe. The ship often served as a flagship and occasionally was used as a Royal Yacht for visits to overseas possessions and other countries.
She was extensively modernized in the mid-1930s and remained operational after Nazi Germany occupied Denmark in 1940. When the Germans attempted to seize the Danish Fleet in August 1943, she attempted to escape to Sweden, but was attacked and damaged by German bombers. She was deliberately run aground by her crew to deny the ship to the Germans, but she was not badly damaged. The ship was refloated several months later and repaired by the Germans. They renamed her Nordland and used her as a Training Ship. She was scuttled by them in May 1945 and her wreck was salvaged in 1952.
