The German Navy’s F125 Baden-Württemberg-class frigates, built by ARGE F125, a joint venture by Lurssen and Thyssen-Krupp are regarded as the biggest frigates in the world, in terms of displacement.
They are 149.5 m long, 18.8 m wide, and have a 5.4 m draft. They have a displacement of 7200 tonnes. They have a range of 4000 nm, a speed of 20 knots, and a complement of 190. Four such frigates are in service, and they replaced the F122 Bremen class.
The largest frigates in the world are designed to manage crises, prevent conflicts, conduct intervention operations, control threats at sea, and support special forces when needed.
Compared to the Bremen frigates, constructed to tackle Cold War era challenges, the F125 frigates have much more enhanced land-attack capacities.
These ships were built keeping peacekeeping and peacemaking missions in mind, which is why they are also equipped with non-lethal weapons like water cannons and searchlights for deterrence and defence.
They have advanced stealth technology including reduced radar, infrared and acoustic footprints.
