The German government announced 14 January 2020 its intention to select Damen as the main contractor, together with partners Blohm + Voss and Thales, for supplying at least four Multi-Purpose Combat Ship MKS 180 frigates to the German Navy. The result of the evaluation process by the German Government awaits parliamentary approval in Germany.
What is the size of the MKS?
The naval planners calculated a length of around 155 meters and a water displacement of up to 9,000 tons for the MKS multi-purposecombat ship. For comparison: the frigates of the Baden-Württemberg class are a good five meters shorter and almost 2,000 tons smaller. And these ships are almost twice the size of the Bremen-class frigates.
