FRIGATE HESSEN - Ultra-modern, extremely dangerous and the pride of the German Navy HD documentary It is the pride of the German Navy: The frigate Hessen is an ultra-modern military ship that was specially designed for air defense. The high-tech giant has been in service with a crew of 255 since 2006. In the largest maritime maneuver in the world, the "Hessen" is training strategic interaction with six other warships as part of the American aircraft carrier group. The frigate Hessen: Germany's most modern and most expensive weapon system The frigate Hessen is the Bundeswehr's most expensive weapon system. Equipped with powerful weapons and highly complex detection technology, the 255-strong crew is training the use of this technology on the Atlantic. The crew is perfecting their interaction with six other warships in the largest maritime maneuver in the world. The goal is to become a permanent member of the American Carrier Strike Group around the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman. Two days earlier, the Hessen docked at the Norfolk Naval Station in Virginia. The crew loaded the ship with food for a month and prepared for deployment. The first officer of the watch, First Lieutenant Franziska Friedrich, coordinated the internal processes and navigated the ship. The Hessen is equipped with the latest sensors and six different defense systems. Its huge long-range radar can detect stealth aircraft. The complex sensors make the Hessen the most expensive weapon system in Germany. Regular training prepares the crew for emergencies. During an exercise, the soldiers discovered three enemy warships on the radar and developed a defense strategy. The crew extinguished fires and cared for the injured. After 14 days at sea, the fuel reserves were used up. The Hessen maneuvered next to a supply ship to take on fuel. The crew monitored the takeover and distributed the fuel evenly. The soldiers lived in a small space, which strengthened their cohesion. After maneuvers, they found relaxation and exchanged ideas in the mess. The Hessen's medical bay is well equipped to treat injuries. The Hessen frigate is a highly modern and powerful weapon system. Regular exercises and logistical masterpieces ensure that the crew remains ready for action. The crew's cohesion and discipline make the Hessen a reliable member of the international naval forces. ???? WELT DOKU YouTube Channel / weltdoku ???? The WELT news livestream / @weltvideotv ????
