International programmes for corvettes and frigates

The world's corvette and frigate fleets attract considerable operational and market interest. This emphasises the importance that will be attached to them in the future. Corvettes and frigates remain at the centre of planning and investment for several reasons. Firstly, the two ship classes are among the most numerous types of multi-purpose surface combatants. Unlike patrol vessels, combat boats, speedboats and other types of ships that have been specifically optimised for one mission, corvettes and frigates are generally designed to carry out missions in several maritime operational areas. In particular, this includes combating surface, air and FK attacks as well as submarine hunting. Secondly...

Despite many difficulties, there are still a number of highly qualified repair yards in Germany. Together, they ensure the operational readiness of the navy. The insolvency of MV Werften with sites in Wismar, Rostock, Stralsund and Bremerhaven as well as the Pella Sietas shipyard in Hamburg and the Nobiskrug shipyard in Rendsburg have once again highlighted the difficult situation in which shipbuilding in Germany has found itself for years. The construction of large merchant ships such as container freighters and tankers has completely migrated to Asia. German shipyards have therefore focussed on technically sophisticated niche products. These include cruise ships, yachts and specialised vessels. In many of these segments, there are now...
