WTF Krauts? It supposed to be your latest surface combatant...

>US Navy restricted those
Yep, they did that. The Deutsche Marine did not, despite nowing of this problem. This is the level of competence we are at now.

just read about the clusterfuck that are the baden württemberg class. At least they returned the ship back to the builder to unfuck some of the stuff, but that ship needs a lot of stuff changed so it can be even passable.
Honestly they should tell the builder to fuck off and just buy Italian FREMM's which would suit them just fine at half the cost.

Knowing the Buntewehr it will take multiple years to repair the damage and in that time the ship will rot from lack of maintenance. The one missile was probably also 70% of our entire arsenal.

Can't wait for them to fake it with broomsticks in the next naval maneuver.

and our navy isnt even the worst.
airforce has 4jets only ready atm, rest is in ruins!

Yeah, which means the "just buy Chinese" troll was a frog all along.

>American missiles

>German Navy
FTFY.

No more than a week earlier the exact same thing happened to a U.S. warship, trying to fire the same type of missile.

This one at least seems to be a result of the missile.

You know that there were like 3 incidents with that missile in the past months?

Lol no SM2 missle is not capable to sink that ship with that puiny warhead. Thruthfully we dont have serious ASM missles on out ships. The biggest thing we have are harpoons. and only in 1 or 2 launchers. we dont even have VLS.

correct booster seperated and burned the ship. Missle did not leave the launcher

Can't you buy Japanese destroyers?

they will never buy big ships who are not at least built in german ports. To many jobs depend on it.

The problem is that we dont invest in good missle systems. We have way to few of them to be effective. Primary missions are anti piracy. SM2, RAMs, and 2 harpoons is not the armament for the future. Let alone the fact that we dont name ships destroyers anymore, just to not be viewed as agressors.
