Please give a detailed introduction to the German Navy

After Germany joined NATO, although it was allowed to rearm its arms and became the frontline in the confrontation between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, the German Navy, as part of NATO’s naval power, followed NATO’s unified military development plan and military The deployment stipulates that the German Navy will only undertake offshore defense tasks and does not need to build large-tonnage surface ships.

In this context, the German Navy has become a rare "frigate navy" among NATO countries.

Especially after the end of the Cold War, all destroyers of the German Navy were decommissioned, leaving only frigates. It seems that the Germans have no plans to build larger-tonnage surface ships for a long time to come.

Despite this, the German naval escort fleet technically still represents the pinnacle of small and medium-sized surface ships in the world. This small but sophisticated fleet will become a model for the construction of other defensive navies in the world.

After the war, the main surface ships of Germany (not to mention East Germany) are:

The U212A conventional submarine is Germany’s latest conventionally powered attack submarine. It uses a fuel cell (AIP) system and is equipped with an advanced command and weapons control system (CWCS). It is currently the most advanced conventionally powered submarine in the world. One of the attack submarines.

Its export model is the U214 type. my country's neighboring country South Korea has purchased and equipped U214 class submarines.

The German Navy currently has four U212A multi-purpose conventionally powered attack submarines, with hull numbers S181~184.

Following the Type 205 submarine, Germany developed and equipped the Type 206 submarine, which was in service from 1973 to 1975. Japan built 18 submarines, mainly built by Horvaz Shipyard and Beihai Shipyard. The shipyard basically has a monopoly on the manufacturing of German submarines.

***Twelve Class 206 submarines have undergone modernization and modification. After modification, they are called Type 206A submarines. The hull numbers range from U15 to U30. The serial numbers are not consecutive for unknown reasons.

There are currently 8 U206A conventionally powered attack submarines in active service.
