Rongor -> RE: New German Battleships? (6/11/2015 5:55:32 PM)

Imagine how excited the international audience would react if Germany was in fact putting a 1000 feet battleship called "Bismarck" into service. Would be great and also odd and nuts at the same time. But somehow I like the idea. Come on people, much of you do too![:D]
But this won't happen. The vessel we talk about here is the MKS 180, the "Mehrzweck-Kampfschiff 180" and it will be some sort of frigate.
Note that the German navy doesn't distinguish between frigate and destroyer anymore. The term destroyer was abandoned after phasing out of the Charles-F-Adams-Class as frigate does sound so more peaceful compared to destroyer. (German public likes the idea to have military only for peaceful purposes) Hence all ships of these sizes are called frigate
