Iver Hvitfeldt

HDMS Iver Hvitfeldt was a coastal defense ship built for the Royal Danish Navy in the 1880s. She was the only member of her class. As she was intended to serve as part of the defense of Copenhagen, she was fairly small, but was heavily armed and armored for her size. She was armed with a main battery of two 260 mm (10.2 in) guns in individual barbette mounts, one forward and aft. Iver Hvitfeldt had a relatively uneventful career, taking part in routine training exercises in the 1890s and early 1900s. She occasionally made visits to other countries in northern Europe during this period. She caught fire in 1904 and was badly burned, but was repaired and modernized thereafter. She remained in the Danish fleet's inventory until 1919, albeit in reserve during World War I, through which Denmark remained neutral. She was briefly used as a barracks ship in 1918 before being sold for scrap in 1919 and broken up in the Netherlands later that year.
