Ny fregat styrker den tyske marine
Den tyske marine har taget levering af fregatten Sachsen-Anhalt, der er den tredje af fire nye fregatter af Type 125. Fregatten er udstyret med såvel en lang række missiler, en kanon, to automatiske maskinkanoner og to helikoptere.
I forhold til den fregat den erstatter, klarer Sachsen-Anhalt de samme opgaver med halvt så stor en besætning - 120 mænd og kvinder.
Fregatten vil som de andre store enheder i den tyske flåde have Wilhelmshaven som hjemhavn, og er ud over opgaver i det tyske nærområde også velgnet til at deltage i internationale operationer. Den er i stand til at være på mission i op til 2 år ad gangen.
Den fjerde og sidste fregat i serien, Rheinland-Pfalz, skal ifølge planen leveres til den tyske marine inden udgangen af i år.
