ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems (TKMS) handed over the last of four F125 frigates "RHEINLAND-PFALZ" to the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) on 28 January.

TKMS press release
Today, ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems handed over the frigate “RHEINLAND-PFALZ” to the Federal Office of Bundeswehr Equipment, Information Technology, and In-Service Support (BAAINBw) in Hamburg. With that, all four ships of the F125 class, which ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems built together with the NVL Group in the ARGE F125 consortium, have been successfully delivered.

The ship was handed over to the BAAINBw, represented by the Head of the Acceptance Commission, Matthias Rohde, and the responsible project manager at the BAAINBw, Marc Steffens, during a ceremony in Hamburg, which was kept a low profile due to the pandemic. On behalf of ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems, Programme Manager Patrick Buggenthin signed the handover papers.

“We have now delivered all of the type F125 ships. The other three vessels are already in the in-service phase and have since proven their technical capabilities and reliability. We are convinced that the fourth vessel, the “RHEINLAND-PFALZ”, will also be successful. We wish the ship and crew ‘fair winds and following seas’. Full operational readiness of all ships for the German Navy remains our most important goal. On behalf of all employees, I would like to express my gratitude for the trust placed in us. At the same time, I would like to thank all our industry partners for their support and for what has been achieved. In our view, the innovative and highly complex ships of this class make an important contribution to a navy equipped for the future. We look forward to continuing the good cooperation with the German Navy.”

Dr. Rolf Wirtz, TKMS Chief Executive Officer

The first ship of the F125 class is scheduled to enter service in mid-2023. In order to create the necessary conditions for this phase, a comprehensive support contract regarding the technical logistic support (TLS) for the F125 frigates was concluded between ARGE F125 and the BAAINBw at the end of last year.
The completely redesigned vessels of the F125 class have highly complex systems and around 28,000 sensors that enable a very high degree of automation, making it possible to reduce the required number of crew members by about half compared to previous frigate classes. Moreover, the ships can remain in their theatre of operations for up to two years. Besides the traditional tasks of national and alliance defence, they are designed for conflict prevention and crisis management as well as for intervention and stabilization operations in an international context. In addition to the ability to engage targets both on land and on water, they are equipped with air defence systems and helicopters.
The contract for the construction of the four frigates became effective in June 2007. The concept, design, and detailed design phases followed. Around 90 percent of the highly complex systems onboard the F125 was developed specifically for this new type of ship.
ARGE F125 comprises ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems as the lead company and the Bremen-based NVL Group (formerly Lürssen Defence). The pre-fitted bow sections were produced at the shipyards of the NVL Group in Bremen and in Wolgast on the Baltic Sea. Construction of the stern sections, the joining of the two vessel halves, further fitting-out, commissioning, and trials all took place at the NVL shipyard Blohm+Voss in Hamburg.

About F125 class frigates

The F125 frigate project was launched in June 2007, with contracts worth $3 billion inked with the ARGE F125 consortium ( formed by ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems and Friedrich Lurssen Werft and Blohm + Voss) for four vessels.

Production of the lead ship started in June 2011. The ship was christened in 2013 but delivery, which was scheduled for 2014, was postponed to after 2017 after major issues were undisclosed by a confidential report in May 2017. This report then unveiled that the frigates were overweight and slightly listing by 1.3 degrees starboard. The ship was rejected by the German Navy in December 2017 and returned to its builder.
The issues were corrected in April 2019, when the vessel was finally handed over to the German Navy. The First-in-class ship “Baden-Württemberg” was commissioned in June 2019, “Nordrhein-Westfalen” joined the fleet one year later in June 2020, “Sachsen-Anhalt” has entered the service in May 2021.

Key data for the F125:
Length: 149 m
Width: 18 m
Maximum speed: >26 knots
Displacement: approx. 7,200 t
Crew: max. 190 (of which up to 120 regular crew members)
Major armament: 1 × 127 mm lightweight Otobreda naval gun, 2x RIM-116 Rolling Airframe Missile, 2 × 27 mm MLG 27 remote-controlled autocannons, 8 × RGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles

With this last delivery, all four ships of the Type F125 or Baden-Württemberg-class, which TKMS built together with the NVL Group in the ARGE F125 consortium, have been successfully delivered. The third ship Sachsen-Anhalt (F224) entered service last May.

Greek Parliament Releases the details of FDI Frigate deal

Greek Parliament Releases the details of FDI Frigate deal
13 Feb 2022
The Hellenic Parliament released the details of Greece's contract with Naval Group for the Hellenic Navy's future FDI (Frégate de défense et d'intervention) frigates on February 9.

The FDI frigate contract provides the timeline and other significant issues regarding the frigates.
The document defines two configurations for the frigates, Standart-1, and Standart-2:

  • Standard-1 refers to a lighter configuration lacking additional capabilities such as decoy launchers, equipped with 2×8-cell Sylver A50 VLS-cells (with 16 ASTER missiles), and lacking a RAM (Rolling Airframe Missile) point defence missile system (PDMS).
  • Standard-2 refers to a more equipped configuration, fitted with decoy launchers, 4×8-cell Sylver A50 VLS-cells (with 32 ASTER missiles), and RAM PDMS.
As previously announced, Greece will purchase three FDI frigates from the Naval Group, with an additional frigate available as an option. The first two frigates will be in Standard-1 configuration, or French configuration, while the third will be in Standard-2 setup. If the additional frigate option is chosen, the fourth frigate will be Standard-2 as well.
Both configurations will be armed with 2×4 Exocet MM40 Block 3c anti-ship missiles, 76 mm Super Rapido gun, and 2×20 mm Nexter Narwhal remote weapon system.

The first two frigates will be upgraded to Standard-2 configuration approximately one year after the delivery of the third frigate, and the delivery of the additional frigate is scheduled after the upgrades of the first two if the option is exercised.

Timeline

Here is the timeline of the project’s milestone events mentioned in the document:
  • 31.10.2022 – First Steel Cutting of the 2nd frigate
  • 30.11.2022 – First block in the drydock of the 1st frigate
  • 31.10.2023 – First Steel Cutting of the 3rd frigate
  • 30.11.2023 – First block in the drydock of the 2st frigate
  • 31.08.2024 – First Sea Going of the 1st frigate
  • 31.03.2025 – Delivery of the 1st frigate
  • 30.06.2025 – First Sea Going of the 2nd frigate
  • 31.10.2025 – Delivery of the 2nd frigate
  • 30.06.2026 – First Sea Going of the 3rd frigate
  • 31.10.2026 – Delivery of the 3rd frigate
  • 31.01.2027 – Completion of the upgrade of the 2nd frigate to Standard-2
  • 30.09.2027 – Completion of the upgrade of the 1st frigate to Standard-2
As can be seen above, the first cutting-steel of the first frigate is not mentioned in the document. Naval News can confirm that the first metal sheets for the first FDI HN have already been cut (having seen them along a group of Greek journalists during the keel laying ceremony of the first FDI for the French Navy). All of the frigates will be delivered in Lorient, France.
FDI HN Performances:
The document covers the Hellenic Navy’s performance expectations from the frigates. The performance specifications were given in an ANNEX of the contract, but it doesn’t exist on the Parliament’s document.
Some of the key performance parameters of the frigates are given in the table below.

About FDI frigates
The infographic of FDI HN frigate by Naval Analyses

The FDI is a front line surface combatant with a 4,500 tons class displacement. Multipurpose and resilient, she is capable of operating, alone or within a naval force. She offers capabilities for all types of warfare: anti-surface, anti-air, anti-submarine, and as well as for special forces projection. Bringing together the best of French naval technologies on a compact platform, the FDI is a powerful and innovative frigate, designed to meet the evolution of threats.
It is the first frigate to benefit from a digital architecture that will allow her continuous adaptation to technological and operational evolutions. As a result, the FDI will be able to address current and future threats and to handle always more data.
The FDI will be the first French frigate natively protected against cyber threats, with two data centers virtually accommodating a great part of the ship applications. The FDI introduces the concept of a dedicated system for asymmetric warfare. This system will enable the coordination and conduct of the fight against small and close air and surface threats, including booby-trapped boats.
Strongly armed (Exocet MM40 B3C anti-surface missiles, Aster 15/30 anti-air missiles, MU90 antisubmarine torpedoes, artillery), the FDI is able to embark simultaneously a helicopter (10 tons class such as NH90) or the future Joint Light Helicopter and an unmanned aerial vehicle (up to 700kg). She can also receive a Special Forces detachment with their two commando boats. They are equipped with the new generation Seafire radar with four fixed panels, developed by Thales, which, combined with the missile delivery system, offers unmatched area defense capabilities.

(Представитель Агентства вооружений, Кшиштоф Платек, за оптимальный вариант...) котоый включает в MEKO-300, четыре полотна АФАР-радара S band и внутреннего оборудования "одной ближневосточной страны". :) Кроме того, ПВО/ПРО тоже в трёх вариантах:- одном "западном, но не европейском" Barak-MX (назвали таки) втором- чисто штатовском и третьем, американо-английским... Большинство поляков уверены, что политически выберут "англичанина", хотя немец это "космос", но и значительно дороже. :)
