Frigate "Brandenburg" returns from the Mediterranean

On Saturday, 13 July 2024, the frigate "Brandenburg" is expected back in Wilhelmshaven from the UNIFIL (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon) mission in the Mediterranean. Under the command of frigate captain Andreas Scheiba, the crew left Wilhelmshaven in March 2024 to assist with maritime surveillance off the Lebanese coast and training the Lebanese navy as part of the UNIFIL mission. Numerous manoeuvres took place with international partners. In addition, the Lebanese armed forces were trained as part of the mission and there was an exchange between crew members of the frigate and their comrades from the headquarters in Naquora stationed on the mainland. During the time at sea, 20 officer cadets were also embarked for training purposes for almost three weeks. The "Brandenburg" was replaced by the corvette "Ludwigshafen am Rhein".
