In fine weather: Naval shipbuilding at tkms and GNYK

The first submarine of the 218 SG class (RSS Invincinble) is currently being prepared for further shipyard trials at thyssenkrupp Marine Systems (tkms). According to a spokesperson for the Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN), the "First of Class" will not be transferred to Changi Naval Base until 2022.

The RSS Impeccable was moved from the construction hall to the Synchrolift on 8 February 2021. The RSN press department will not comment on a date for the naming ceremony on request. In addition to the RSS Impeccable, U 36 from the 1st submarine squadron of the German Navy can also be seen. In the background are the corvettes under construction for the Israeli Navy at German Naval Yards Kiel (GNYK): INS Oz, INS Atzmaut and INS Nitzachon.
