Peder Skram was an innovative design using a hybrid propulsion system, a combined gas turbine and diesel approach (CODOG).[2] Peder Skram underwent significant refit in 1970 and a midlife update 1977–78 [3]
On 11 June 1980, along with a minelayer Falster, by aggressive manoeuvring, drove off Polish command landing ship ORP Grunwald, reconnoitering Dannish coast near Hesselø island.[4]
1982 Harpoon missile incident
In 1982 Peder Skram was involved in the accidental launch of a Harpoon missile, which inflicted no bodily harm.
Peder Skram was decommissioned in 1990, internal installations were auctioned off as scrap two years later. In the mid-1990s it was decided to restore her as a museum ship.
Peder Skram is today operated as a museum ship on a volunteer basis. It is open to visitors every day from 11am to 5pm in the school summer and autumn vacations and in all weekends in June and August.[5]
