German Navy Announces New Pacific Deployments as Global Navy Chiefs Call for More Pacific Cooperation

SINGAPORE – The German Navy will deploy a frigate and a combat support ship to the Indo-Pacific in 2024, German Navy Chief Vice Adm. Jan Christian Kaack announced at the International Maritime Security Conference (IMSC) 2023 Thursday. “We are looking forward to joint operations and exercises with our partners in the region,” Kaack said. The mission of the two-ship task force will include freedom of navigation operations with partner navies in the South China Sea. [...]

Kaack did not identify the German ships that will deploy in 2024. He did say it would be one of its newest frigates – one of the four 7,200 tons Baden-Württemberg class. The four ships entered service between 2019 and 2022. The overall goal is for Germany to make a visible contribution to the rules-based order in the region and contribute to freedom of navigation. The group will also join in the United Nations embargo on North Korea via maritime surveillance operations.
