Bundesmarine Bremen-class frigate Lübeck, F214; Firth of Clyde, Scotland

The four windows are for the officers wardroom! Excepting the bridge and aft flight deck officer's control booth, these are the only windows on the ship, demonstrating the Bundesmarine's 'consideration' of the well-being of its officers! However, the accommodation on these ships is, for all crew members, exceptional, even by modern RN standards. The eight F122 Bremen-class frigates of the German Navy were a series of frigates commissioned between 1982 and 1990. The design is based on the proven Dutch Kortenaer class but uses a different propulsion system and hangar lay-out. 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. The Lubeck is shown going up the Clyde prior to the 2018 Joint Warrior exercise.
