Sachsen-Anhalt (F224), the German Navy’s third of four F125-class frigates, has officially entered service.
According to an announcement issued by the German Navy, the ship was put into service at Naval Base Heppenser Groden in Wilhelmshaven on 17 May at 2 p.m.
“I am very happy about the commissioning of the third of four units. We urgently need the unit, on the one hand to relieve our existing units of obligations and on the other hand to use this platform for training our crews due to the lack of training infrastructure on land,” Flotilla Admiral Ralf Kuchler, commander of the flotilla 2, commented.
“With the commissioning of the ‘Sachsen-Anhalt’, the long phase of testing and takeover, which we can look back on with pride, ends,” Frigate Captain Elmar Bornkessel, Commander of the F125 “Delta” crew, said.
Sachsen-Anhalt was delivered to the navy several weeks ago.
