The German Navy will deploy its first-of-class
Baden-Württemberg
(Type 125) frigate and its second Berlin (Type 702)-class combat support ship,
Frankfurt Am Main
, to the Indo-Pacific region in 2024.
Janes
was able to confirm this with the Chief of the German Navy, Vice Admiral Jan Christian Kaack, while he was in Singapore on 6 November.
The warship deployments are being made as part of the German federal government’s effort to strengthen the rules-based international order and build closer defence relations with like-minded countries in the Indo-Pacific region, Vice Adm Kaack said.
The two-ship task force will build upon the experience gathered by the German Navy’s almost seven-month-long deployment of a Brandenburg (Type 123)-class frigate,
Bayern
, to the region in 2021.
Baden-Württemberg
is a nearly 150 m frigate that displaces about 7,200 tonnes when fully loaded. It was commissioned by the German Navy in June 2019 and is one of four Type 125 frigates that have been inducted by the service.
