Shipbuilding - New frigates - start of construction for the navy's largest ships
The construction of the German Navy's largest ships to date is due to start on Tuesday (11.00 a.m.) at the Peene shipyard in Wolgast, Western Pomerania. Four Class 126 frigates are to be built in Wolgast, Kiel and Hamburg under the leadership of the Dutch shipyard Damen Shipyards. According to official information, the billion-euro project is the German Navy's most expensive shipbuilding project to date. According to Damen, the first ship is due to be handed over in 2028.
The Peene shipyard, which belongs to the Lürssen Group, is to build the rear ships. The naval supplier Thales is also involved. According to previous Bundeswehr statements, the ship class is designed as an all-purpose weapon. The ships should therefore be able to operate anywhere in the world and for long periods of time and be able to monitor embargoes or prevail against other warships or submarines.
