According to Damen, the DMC full spade rudders of the Atlantic type have been calculated according to the special hull shape and operational profile of these frigates. With their slim profile, the rudders reduce flow resistance and improve the F126's ability to maintain its course at high speeds, Damen continues. Good manoeuvrability at low speeds in harbours or during special missions of these naval vessels is maintained....
