The Unofficial German Navy Homepage

Hello folks out there.
First of all, we want to tell you, who we are. Well we (Simon Linder and Lars Dolling) are former EW-Operators of the German Navy.

Short description of our work:

Simon Linder:
I spent about nine months on "S61 Albatros". This is an fast patrol boat with the type designator PGF (which means "fast patrolboat with guided missile").
Lars Dolling:
I have been for nine months on "F214 Lübeck". A Fast Frigate with two helicopters. During my time on the "Lübeck" among others I have taken part in operation "Sharp guard" (UN embargo control of Yugoslavia in the Adriatic Sea) for 3 month.

We offer:

the ship lists:

• (Nearly) complete list of ships of the German Navy with pictures
  the icons on this page are only pretty small pictures, you can view these on real size by loading them seperatly
• former Navy of East Germany (GDR) - what kind of ships have been there and where are they now? It includes a complete ship list (names and classes only)

pictures, pictures, pictures:

• Cool pictures like a launching Exocet missile!
• Our picture archive. All pictures we've got.

  Are there any foreign ships visiting German ports?

Some readers were looking forward a WWI or improved WWII section. I'm sorry but we've not much informations about these times. So don't ask me! But if you know something and like to write it, we'll publish it on these pages.
