EU started Red Sea mission, German frigate deployed

The EU Red Sea mission has been launched. Naval inspector Jan Christian Kaack stated on Thursday on the occasion of the Hessen frigate’s departure towards the Mediterranean Sea that it was “the most serious operation by a German naval unit in decades,” according to junge Welt.

The warship, worth over 700 million euros, has departed from Wilhelmshaven and is expected to arrive in the southern Red Sea by the end of the month. It will protect merchant ships in the Bab Al-Mandab Strait from attacks by the Ansarollahs, also known as the Houthis. State Secretary Siemtje Möller declared:

With the rapid departure of the ‘Hessen’, the Navy is once again showing that it is an agile and absolutely reliable instrument of German security policy.

On the 21st November 1918 the German High Seas Fleet gathered in The Firth of Forth to formally surrender.

10 days after the Armistice had been declared, the German High Seas Fleet surrendered to the Allies at the Firth of Forth. The anchorage at the Firth of Forth was merely the first stop for the fleet to ensure complete disarmament; the fleet would subsequently be interned around the Scapa Flow a few days later. Nearly one hundred years ago today the crews of the British ships sent to escort the fleet would have observed the historic sight of the diminutive HMS Cardiff leading a convoy of 70 magnificent German battle cruisers and destroyers into internment around the Scottish Isles.
