Ludwigshafen am Rhein (F264) is the fifth ship of the Braunschweig-class corvette of the German Navy.
Developments
The K130 Braunschweig class (sometimes Korvette 130) is Germany's newest class of ocean-going corvettes. Five ships have replaced the Шаблон:Sclass of the German Navy.
They feature reduced radar and infrared signatures ("stealth" beyond the Шаблон:Sclasss) and will be equipped with two helicopter UAVs for remote sensing. Recently, the German Navy ordered a first batch of two UMS Skeldar V-200 systems for the use on the Braunschweig-class corvettes.[1] The hangar is too small for standard helicopters, but the pad is large enough for Sea Kings, Lynx, or NH-90s, the helicopters of the German Navy.
The German Navy has ordered the RBS-15 Mk4 in advance, which will be a future development of the Mk3 with increased range —Шаблон:Convert— and a dual seeker for increased resistance to electronic countermeasures.[2] The RBS-15 Mk3 has the capability to engage land targets.[3]
In October 2016 it was announced that a second batch of five more frigates is to be procured from 2022–25.[4] The decision was in response to NATO requirements expecting Germany to provide a total of four corvettes at the highest readiness level for littoral operations by 2018, and with only five corvettes just two can be provided.[5]
Construction and career
Ludwigshafen was laid down on 14 April 2006 and launched on 26 September 2007 in Hamburg. She was commissioned on 21 March 2013.[6]
KRI Sultan Hasanuddin and Ludwigshafen conducted a towing exercise (TOWEX) on 26 August 2020.[7]
