Korvette Ludwigshafen am Rhein: After 200 days back in Rostock!

Marinestützpunkt Hohe Düne, 18119 Rostock, Deutschland - On December 20, 2024 at 10 a.m., the German corvette "Ludwigshafen am Rhein" successfully returned to its home port of Hohe Dune near Rostock after it was used for almost 200 days. Their mandate was the fight against weapons smuggling and the promotion of stability in the crisis region off the Lebanese coast, where it operated as part of the Unifil mission (United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon). The crew, under the command of frigate captain Christian Rodust, has been in use since June 8, 2024 and not only carried out patrols, but also trained Lebanese marines, such as ndr.de reported .

The assignment was challenging, especially after a concrete drone attack, to which the crew successfully resisted. After their return, the team is now looking forward to a contemplative Christmas time after they were absent in 270 days, as the press and information center Marine . Ramming the corvette is ceremoniously framed by the Army Music Corps Neubrandenburg, which will invite you to return at an atmospheric return. The assignment was part of a long -term commitment of the United Nations for Peace and Security in Lebanon, which goes back to 1978 and plays a central role in the stabilization of the area.

The return of the corvette means not only the end of an intensive use, but also the return to a safe port for the approximately 60 soldiers who can now start their well -deserved vacation.
