Frankenthal class mine hunter

Frankenthal class mine hunter

The Type 332 Frankenthal class mine hunter is a class of German mine hunters. The ships are built of non-magnetic steel. Hull, machinery and superstructure of this class is similar to the original Type 343 Hameln class minesweeper, but the equipment differs.

Slightly modified Frankenthal class mine hunters are also operated by the Turkish Navy, where they are referred to as the A Class.

List of German ships

All active ships are currently stationed in Kiel at the Baltic Sea. M1058, M1059, M1062, M1065 and M1069 are part of the "3. Minensuchgeschwader" (3. mine sweeper squadron). The others belong to "5. Minensuchgeschwader". M1060 "Weiden" was sold to United Arab Emirates in 2006. As the German Navy closed the naval base at Olpenitz, all ships were relocated to Kiel and their squadrons incorporated into the "Einsatzflottille 1" (Flotilla 1).cite web
