The "Brandenburg" replaces the "Baden-Württemberg"

On Sunday, 16 March 2025 at 3 p.m., the frigate "Brandenburg" will leave its home port of Wilhelmshaven to take part in the mandated foreign mission UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) off the Lebanese coast. Under the command of frigate captain Robert Meyer-Brenkhof, the crew will spend around six months off the Lebanese coast carrying out maritime surveillance and training for the Lebanese navy as part of the mission.

The Red Eagle leaves Wilhelmshaven with around 216 men and women. It also includes an eleven-strong team from the shipboard company in Eckernförde and a medical team. The "Brandenburg" will replace the frigate "Baden-Württemberg" (F 222), which will then return to Wilhelmshaven. The Class 125 frigate left its home port in October 2023 and has been away from home with a rotating crew ever since, having also travelled around the world once with the IPD24 association.
