The Frigate Bavaria has made a stop in the Spanish harbour of Rota on its way to the Far East. There, just a few nautical miles off the Strait of Gibraltar, the Commander Tilo Kalski and its crew were welcomed by soldiers from the EU Naval Force (EU Navfor). During the voyage, the German frigate will also take part in Operation Atalanta for some time.
On 2 August, the Bavaria under the watchful eye of Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer from her home port of Wilhelmshaven. Over the coming months, the ship, which was commissioned in 1996, will be travelling through the Mediterranean, the Suez Canal and the Indian Ocean. Port visits to the west coast of Australia, Guam and Tokyo are planned. Shanghai is also on the list of ports of call. However, the Chinese government has not yet given the green light for this.
