德国海军希望使用 TKMS 的库存护卫舰作为陷入困境的 F126 战舰的后备
柏林的国防官员担心,当北约的潜艇狩猎能力承诺在本十年晚些时候到期时,他们会空手而归。
来源:美国国防新闻网__海军COLOGNE, Germany — The German navy is slated to get four MEKO frigates from local shipyard TKMS as a backup submarine-hunting capability, as the envisioned program of record for F126 specialty ships faces delays.
Defense officials in Berlin portrayed a preliminary contract with the German shipbuilder, approved by lawmakers on Wednesday, as part of “bridge solution” that would ensure the sea service gets urgently needed anti-submarine ships beginning in late 2029, in time to meet NATO commitments.
The plan comes amid mounting questions about a batch of six F126 frigates — previously called MKS-180 — that Germany initially ordered from Dutch shipbuilder Damen in 2020 for a price tag potentially approaching $10 billion.
At the time, the contract award sparked a debate in Germany’s naval-industry circles, with critics arguing the capability was too important to outsource even to a company in the neighboring Netherlands, a close ally.
达门表示,将在德国建造船舶,目标是让 70% 的合同价值通过德国供应商完成。
首艘10,550吨级护卫舰的建造于2023年12月开始,在德国沃尔加斯特的佩内造船厂进行了首次钢材切割,随后于2024年6月举行了由德国国防部长鲍里斯·皮斯托利斯出席的龙骨铺设仪式。
德国国防部表示,订购四艘MEKO A-200 DEU舰的计划并不意味着F126计划完全搁浅。
根据一份机构声明,官员们一直在与 NVL(Naval Vessels Lürssen)作为该项目的新主承包商进行谈判。
该公司最近被国防巨头莱茵金属公司收购,在其网站上将自己描述为“由德国北部著名造船厂和相关公司组成的独立、私营集团”。
Damen has signaled it would go along with a German lead, though the Dutch company wants to remain “an essential partner,” it said in its annual earnings statement in October 2025.
