A German frigate named Bayern, the third ship of the Brandenburg-class frigate, docked in Tokyo on November 5, 2021. It is the first time in 20 years that a German warship has docked in a Japanese port.
With the deployment of a frigate in Indo-Pacific region, the German Navy wants to send a signal for free sea routes and the observance of international law in the region.
Saab has signed a contract with the German Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw), and has received an order to deliver and integrate new naval radars and fire control directors for and in the German Navy’s Frigates of the Brandenburg-Class (F123).
