Recently Frederik went to Nyboder in Copenhagen.
Nyboder is housing for navy personnel. Build in 1631 the neighborhood consists of rows of family houses in a distinct style:

There was another neighborhood for navy officers but this is for NCOs and specialists and their families, constituting the core of the ranks and file aboard warships. And it still is, even though today it's for all branches of the military. It's a pretty sought after neighborhood and after centuries of affiliation with the navy there are even several rousing songs about the area.
In fact some of Frederik's mates from the Frogman Corps lived here in his time.
It was here Frederik arrived at the local museum, Nyboders Mindestuer. he was received by the Music Corps of the Navy, as well as the head of the exhibition, Johan Lausten and his daughter Augusta, who is seen in several photos. Present was also the navy chaplain from the navy church, Holmens Kirke as well as "frogs" from the Corps.
The reason for Frederik's visit was that the museum has an exhibition about the Frogman Corps. It's foundation, training and functions and of course some of the equipment.
Followed by uniformed military personnel, including the Defense Chief, without headgear outside (That I should live to see that!) Frederik cut a piece of camouflage netting to open the exhibition. Inside the mood was very merry, yarns, tall stories and anecdotes were told.
In the yard a row of T-shirts used by the "frogs" were hanging and that made Frederik laugh. Obviously a kind of inside frogman-joke.
Here is more about the old houses:
