WELCOME TO THE UK, HOPE THE GERMAN NAVY PERSONNEL ARE MADE WELCOME IN BRITAIN 🇬🇧 . GERMANY 🇩🇪. IS ALWAYS MADE WELCOME.

Awesome video!!

[@jokeboy_rblxrblx2006]

Nice man!

[@gregordomer311]

That reminds me of the Bradly tank program, where they were constantly fiddling with things, which took longer and cost a lot more in the end and you still had to add extra armor after completion.

DON'T EXPECT ANYTHING LESS THAN PERFECT FROM THE GERMAN NAVY 👌

[@beaterbikechannel2538]

Watch the video to "Bismarck" by Sabaton. To think that about three times the size!

[@timmccarthy982]

Germany was attacked, Nord Stream the largest terroristic attack on civilian infrastructure since 9/11and the navy visits one of the countries that attacked them. Less than perfect in my book. I'd tell the civilians what I thought if they didn't agree I would resign and tell them to drive the boat over there. During WW2 the German navy made the same mistake the US navy did putting magnetic detonators on their torpedos and not accounting for the effect of the earth's variable magnetic field around the world. Although the Germans "fixed it right" the American navy brass took almost two years to acknowledge there could be a flaw the Germans threw the officers who made the mistake in prison.

[@beaterbikechannel2538]

To get an idea though Sachsen-Anhalt is 150m long and displaces 7200 tonnes. Now imagine Bismarck at 251m long and displacing 41,000 tonnes. It must have been terrifying. Modern aircraft carriers are bigger but don't have the sex appeal of gun turrets the size of houses and the rakish, sleek lines of old school battleships.

Displacement of a destroyer, armaments of a patrol boat.

[@Weakeyedominant]

@@apis_aculei it cost two or three times what a T31 cost. It has world beating sensors but only armed with point defense missiles. The Germans take pacifism to the extreme.

[@KingBritish]

@@Weakeyedominant In case you didn't realise Germany is restricted in what it can have have military wise since the end of WW2

[@Weakeyedominant]

@@KingBritish they have limits on the size of their army which they are nowhere near breaching these days. They can't use biological or chemical which no one else should be using and they can't expand their territory even if someone wanted to. Apart from that they have no restrictions on how effective their warships should be so could easily add more vls including TLAM. I get that Germany has no need to be a naval power, but they would be better investing their money into their land forces rather than building extremely expensive patrol ships.

Where were you filming it must be some kind of bird estuary. I think I even heard a duck quacking.. Always good to see the big boats on the waterways. Thanks
