It was a stormy night, a hurricane with winds of up to 12 gusts swept across northern Germany as the Bonn made its way homewards on the Jade. They stayed overnight just outside the harbour. "Actually, you want to avoid something like this," said the commander, frigate captain Eike Deußen, to the squadron commander, frigate captain Torsten Geldmacher, as they entered the harbour.
