The 3 Guardian class cruisers, "Guardian", "Protector", & " Defender",
are part of the Emergency Building Programme of the Danish Navy in 1914,
to bolster the ability of the Navy to undertake the maritime security of the Danish Protectorates,
and are designed to patrol the Danish Protectorates in the Far East and Africa.
As a result these vessels often take on the role of floating embassies for the Danish Crown.
Their primary duties are the protection of the merchant marine, and the overseas Protectorates.
They are built for long range and high speed, with a degree of comfort for any diplomats aboard.

"Loki" class armed transports are designed to give some measure of protection to merchant vessels sailing to the Danish Protectorates in Africa and The Far East. There "principal" role is to resupply the Danish Naval Stations in these locations, as the Danish Government is unwilling to send military supplies through unprotected channels.
They have a secondary role as troop transports in times of crisis.
The vessels are also equipped with comprensive lifting equipment, allowing them to operate independantly of harbour facilities in less well developed ports.
