Germany’s ＂king of frigates＂ costing 2 billion euros is useless？

　　　　　　 CCTV News:Made in Germany is synonymous with high quality in the eyes of many people. However, the latest frigate "Baden Wü rttemberg" made by German military enterprises for the German navy failed in the sea trial and had to go back to the factory for improvement.

　　　　　　 "Baden Wü rttemberg" was manufactured by ThyssenKrupp Marine System Company of Germany, with a length of 150 meters and a displacement of 7,000 tons, and the cost was as high as 2 billion euros, about 15.7 billion yuan. This new frigate will replace the existing "Bremen" class frigate.

　　　　　　 In recent sea trials, this expensive frigate has gone wrong. The German navy said that this was because the central computer system of the frigate failed to meet the standard.

　　　　　　 In this regard, the spokesman of the manufacturing enterprise said that they are very skilled in dealing with this kind of problem and can solve the current problem quickly.

　　　　　　 However, the German media "Kiel News" exposed more problems. It is reported that the radar system, electronic system and fire-retardant coating of the fuel tank of Baden Wü rttemberg have problems.

　　　　　　 The electronic system should have been an advantage of the Baden-Wü rttemberg, enabling it to carry fewer crew members to perform its tasks. However, the test shows that too much electronic equipment leads to frequent failures of software systems, frequent failures of shipborne radar, and frigates with ineffective radar can easily become enemy targets.

　　　　　　 The Wall Street Journal quoted critics as saying that during the design process, the frigate was not equipped with sonar system and torpedo launcher, and even if it was repaired, it would be difficult to resist submarine attacks.

　　　　　　 "Baden-Wü rttemberg" class frigate is a large frigate built by Germany in the 21st century, also known as F125. Its full-load displacement is as high as 7,200 tons, which is close to China’s 052D destroyer. This frigate combines the most advanced technology in Germany and is known as the "king of frigates" among the global navies.

　　　　　　 This warship, known as the "king of frigates", is equipped with a 127mm Otto Breda gun, which can be equipped with volcanic guided shells, and can accurately strike targets 100km away. Although it is classified as a frigate, its naval gun is more powerful than the main destroyers in many countries.
