It has been discussed for years: does the German Navy need combat boats? The pros and cons have been debated at length in the marineforum, and the manufacturers' offers have been presented in detail. The fact that they are needed has now been reflected in the intention to procure them. The Bundeswehr intends to purchase multi-purpose combat boats for the naval battalion. The Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support has published a corresponding invitation to tender on the European procurement platform TED.
