Frederik Michael Krabbe (28 May 1725 – 25 October 1796)[1] was a Danish naval officer and master shipbuilder (fabrikmester).

Born at Esrum, some 22 miles north of Copenhagen, on 28 May 1725, Krabbe was the son of a regimental quartermaster.

This tour took four years and included England, Brest, Rochefort, Toulon, Italy, Pisa, Venice, Naples, Marseilles and Amsterdam.

[1] When Kaas was posted to the ship-of-the-line Neptunus, Krabbe alone supervised the building of this frigate.

In September 1758 Krabbe was officially appointed as Fabrikmester, master shipbuilder to the Royal Danish Navy[1] and his first ship-of-the-line was designed.
