The eight F122 ''Bremen''-class frigates of the German Navy were commissioned between 1982 and 1990. The design is similar to the Dutch ''Kortenaer'' class but uses a different hull and propulsion system. The ships were built for anti-submarine warfare as a primary task even though they are not fitted with towed array sonars. They are also suited for anti-aircraft warfare and anti-surface warfare. This class of ship was one of the last to be constructed under post-war displacement limitations imposed by the WEU on West Germany. All eight ''Bremen''-class frigates will be replaced by the planned F125-class frigates, starting probably around 2016. Until then, the ''Bremen'' class serves as the backbone of the German Navy. == Employment == During the Cold War period, the ships' main war task was to escort convoys for reinforcement and resupply of Allied forces in Europe. They frequently took part in NATO Standing Naval Forces. Since 1990, all ships have served in additional supporting missions such as the embargo operations against former Yugoslavia in the Adriatic Sea or Operation Enduring Freedom against the international terrorism. During their lifetime, the ships' equipment has frequently been modernized and a further adaptation of combat systems is foreseen in the near future. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bremen-class frigate」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
