Minehunting boat "Bad Bevensen" back under NATO flag

From a press release by the Rostock Naval Command:

Today, Tuesday 11 July 2023, the minehunting boat "Bad Bevensen" (M 1063) left its home port of Kiel. The boat, which belongs to the 3rd Minehunting Squadron, will be the German contribution to one of NATO's permanent mine defence units for the next few months. The boat and crew are therefore also part of the Very High Readiness Joint Task Force Maritime (VJTF (M)) for the North and Baltic Seas.

Under the command of Corvette Captain Kevin Linken (36), the crew of the "Bad Bevensen" will be travelling towards the eastern Baltic Sea. The first ports of call will be Rönne/Bornholm (Denmark) and Visby on Gotland (Sweden). It is not yet clear when the boat will return to its home port of Kiel.
