FGS Augsburg F213, a Type 122 Bremen Class Frigate of the German Navy, is seen leaving Devonport Naval Base at Devil's Point on 16th July 2018 as she heads from base to sea at 0730. The backbone of the German fleet, FGS Augsburg is one of eight F122 Bremen-class frigates, that were commissioned between 1982 and 1990, with the design based on the proven Dutch Kortenaer class, but one which uses a different propulsion system and hangar lay-out. The ships were built for anti-submarine warfare as a primary task and are also suited for anti-aircraft warfare and anti-surface warfare. FGS Augsburg was built by Bremer Vulkan in Bremen and was commissioned into the German fleet on 3rd October 1989. Powered by two MTU 20V956 TB92 diesel engines, the class is now being succeeded by the Type F125 Brandenburg-class frigate, and to date there are now just two Bremen class frigates surviving in service with the German Navy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IviRhRdXeH4
