Minehunting boat "Bad Bevensen" back in the SNMCMG 1 on 21. 01.22

On Friday, 21 January 2021 at 10 am, the minehunting boat "Bad Bevensen" will leave its home port of Kiel. After a break due to the coronavirus, the Kiel boat is now heading for Bornholm to join other boats from NATO's Standing Mine Countermeasures Group 1 (SNMCMG 1). All crew members who contracted the coronavirus before Christmas have recovered and can go to sea with their mates as planned. In February, the "Bad Bevensen" will also take part in the so-called HOD operations in the German Bight. HOD stands for Historic Ordnance Disposal and is regularly carried out in the North and Baltic Seas. Further manoeuvres will follow, which will take the crew to the far north. "In the second part of the unit's participation, the climatic challenges in the European North Sea are a particular strain on personnel and equipment. This has to be mastered," said Commander Corvette Captain Christopher Fenske (37). They should be back in Kiel in time for Easter, in mid-April, after this demanding cold test.

In October, marineforum reported on the changing of the guard when "Bad Bevensen" replaced the Homburg
