Awesome! As an American watching the German Navy - The Frigate Hessen's crews demonstrate its greatness discipline and power at see! Thanks God we live on the west side of the world!
It is no wonder that the German Navy was so tough to beat in the past. The professionalism of the Hessen's crew is without doubt carrying on that tradition. My brother would have gotten along well with PO3c Andreas Wohlfahrt as he also served as a ship's cook in the USCG for 6 years. He was a very popular member of the crew as I'm sure Andreas is. Glad that Germany is an ally now.
Germany's navy was comparably small and they couldn't expand to the necessary size in time to give britain or the US a real competition ... but when it came to professionalism they managed to match their counterparts quality.
Can’t wait until Germany finally dares to move on from 1945.. It could have the biggest and most sophisticated military in Europe by far. And Germany would never misuse it for regime-changes based on the interest of lobby groups. Germany would be a very powerful guarantee of zero inter state violence in Europe. We would also not be as dependent on the Americans..(Norwegian here)
I trust the French, Germans and other European powers wayyy before i would want the US to decide our European foreign policy. In such a reality, European interest would be the highest priority

22:30 Landing a big helicopter onto the back of a fast moving frigate with a rough sea and high winds is just one of the thousands of special skills of the German frigate!! Great video, Thanks!!
I am an American and my bloodlines are 1/2 German, 1/4 Slovak and 1/4 Welsh. My German ancestors came to America in the the late 1700’s I am very proud of my German roots and I’m very happy to see the cooperation of the US navy , the German Navy and the Norwegian Navy.

I enjoyed this. I'm a former Surface Warfare officer (O4) in the USN on frigates and a cruiser. I also served in the German navy for 2 years as an exchange officer on Minehunters.
Yeah, recalling my Midshipmen’s day… 9 months of training & posted to a gun boat… love the sea & sailing… love to spend my retirement in sailing but my other half, has a fear(phobia), the vast open waters, especially when rough… yeah, I have to admit, there is fear but knowing Archimedes principle & physics… Mother Nature is always the winner… a leisure sail boat with polyester fibre & a diesel/electric engine is simply enough only to navigate in calm waters… the rest is all down to experience & gut feeling… I have a buddy in the other side of the world with similar interest & perhaps we might join together for short trips…

"No one messes with the Hessen" Yes, especially when they know that it was MADE IN GERMANY. No one messes with anything made in Germany, simply because it is the best of the best, state-of-the-art, top-notch, bleeding-edge technology.
@@Avakr I'd love to see you facing the romance of the almighty German industry; especially in weaponry, arsenal and military equipment. It would be an amazing experiment.
Lieutenant (not Second Lieutenant or LT. JG) Franziska Friedrich was NOT Executive Officer of the Hessen. She was the Second Navigation Officer (II NO). But never mind correctnes. And I never fail to amaze the US Navy's appreciation of shouting whereas in the German Navy, we preferred the less noisy and subdued "singsong".
@@petesheppard1709 It actually works extremely good, even under noisy conditions as in machinery spaces or when weapon systems are going full chat. The only exemption is the command to go "Alle Allez!" which in itself is a weird combination of the German word "Alle" (which translates to: all) and the French word "Allez" (which translates to "come on" or "forward"). This is the only command issued with vigor. The command is meant to order all engines ahead full with a plus, which is a small touch more than ahead full, but still less than "all ahead flank" which is meant to remove / switch off all safety governors on the engines and simply firewall them to anything the fuel system is capable of delivering. On diesel engines (fast patrol boats) this is achieved by hand cranking the fuel pushrods on each engine to the physical limit, whereas on gasturbine driven frigates (the old CODOG ships, the newer CODAGE have other limiters) you moved the engine telegraph to flank, and in one quick move to stop and back up to flank. This "killed" the safeties and enabled the turbines to go beyond the 6500 rpm limit all the way up to 8700and something. You're exhaust will turn yellow and you'll be in for the shock of your life to discover how fast 4500 t of warship can accelerate.
i was not aware that we had allied navies guarding our billion dollar carriers. glad to have them with us! plus, their working uniforms look waaaay cooler than ours... not sure why our navy decided to dress our folks as walking puddles of digital water. whos going to fall for that?
Yeah. Germany for some reason does not like to operate warships of "Destroyer" designation anymore, I can't confirm if the old wives tale of "it sounds too aggressive" is true or not. However, to make up for this, we simply build the largest "Frigates" going to sea... The "Hessen" is actually an older model of the "Sachen"-Class, with 5800 tons displacement. The successor "Baden-Würtemberg"-Class is 7100 tons displacement. For comparison, an Arleigh-Burke class destroyer is only about 1500-2000 tons heavier...
I'm a ex NAVY VET! I can't figure out why the U.S. just doesn't keep these nostalgic ships outfitted with new improvements and repairs, hull cleanings and repairs, and staffed the whole time for service personnel to remain an the area where it is being repaired. We need to keep these old ships if we are going to mass in size, and remain the super ally that we want to be. We must stay ahead of the Chinese. Through strength, we can keep the peace, and stop the spread of communism! The whole world knows the U.S.A. is not an aggressive nation or people. Unless forced in that position. I wish we would have outfitted and repair all of our battleships. The more ships we have on the seas, the more force and dominance we can show and parade. Come on America. Keep our Antiques. How MIGHTY we will portray to the world. Could you imagine a battleship with lasers and rail guns if they're going to find the answers for a rail gun.
…. ask our neighbours, especially Poland, if they wish to see a strong german military again. the russia-ukraine war has revealed, that germany is still covered by the shadows of ww2. foreign media coverage overwhelmingly ignores the fact that Germany is in fact Ukraine's second largest supporter when you add it all up and include the arms swaps through the ring swap program (particularly including old Russian tanks for modern German tanks). Nevertheless, one hears constantly that Germany is doing far too little and is not keeping its promises, etc.

@@smyzeqari4897 No one is paying for anything, it's a common populist trope told by US politicians to their retarded voters. They claim that somehow the US is paying for Germany's (and other European NATO countries') defence because they themselves have a ridiculously high military spending while most European countries don't. What they forget to mention is that the US spends most of it's defence spending on their neocolonial network of 700 military bases around the world, and that the US needs to be in a constant state of war and have massive defence spending or else their country would collapse. The US defence industry is extremely interwoven with lobby groups and their politicians, called the "military industrial complex". What those US people also seem to forget is that while European NATO countries spend billions of Euro's each year purchasing US-made military hardware, meanwhile the US spends pretty much zero purchasing European-made military hardware. And let us not forget that in the countless US wars of agression and imperialism since the end of WWII, us European countries have spent many tens of billions of Euro's coming to the aid of the US in those wars on top of losing thousands of our soldiers to those wars as well. Meanwhile the US has not come to the aid of a single European NATO country even once.
Germany has the 3rd largest nato navy in europe rn, 11x frigates, 5x corvettes and 6x submarines. And its expanding, by 2030 it’ll consist of 4x light frigates, 6x brand new ASW frigates (F126), 6x brand new air defense destroyers (F127), 10x corvettes (K130 T1 and 2), 6x brand new amphibious support ships (NTV130) and 9x brand new submarines (Type 212CD).
@@dopepopeurban6129 Please stop. Only a tiny fraction of all that hardware is actually operational and the german navy couldn't even defend the german coastline. The german army in general is not a modern military and those who enlist there are not exactly the best and the brightest and it shows.

2 months ago. 4th April 2024. I saw Sachsen class frigate off the coast of Plymouth England. There is another ship, I believe it was Dutch destroyer. I could not see the hull number, but from the Silhouette. They were certainly Sachsen class and De Zeven Provincien class.

They claim that somehow the US is paying for Germany's (and other European NATO countries') defence because they themselves have a ridiculously high military spending while most European countries don't. What they forget to mention is that the US spends most of it's defence spending on their neocolonial network of 700 military bases around the world, and that the US needs to be in a constant state of war and have massive defence spending or else their country would collapse. The US defence industry is extremely interwoven with lobby groups and their politicians, called the "military industrial complex". What those US people also seem to forget is that while European NATO countries spend billions of Euro's each year purchasing US-made military hardware, meanwhile the US spends pretty much zero purchasing European-made military hardware. And let us not forget that in the countless US wars of agression and imperialism since the end of WWII, us European countries have spent many tens of billions of Euro's coming to the aid of the US in those wars on top of losing thousands of our soldiers to those wars as well. Meanwhile the US has not come to the aid of a single European NATO country even once.
Very Nice, enjoyed!
Nothing beats a bit of aggressive knocking.
This is a very compelling video 📹
The Skipper has them Mad staring eyes.
Good Luck
I didn't know the Krauts had a ship like this....nice
Germany has the 3rd largest nato navy in europe rn, 11x frigates, 5x corvettes and 6x submarines. And its expanding, by 2030 it’ll consist of 4x light frigates, 6x brand new ASW frigates (F126), 6x brand new air defense destroyers (F127), 10x corvettes (K130 T1 and 2), 6x brand new amphibious support ships (NTV130) and 9x brand new submarines (Type 212CD).
@@dopepopeurban6129 Please stop. Only a tiny fraction of all that hardware is actually operational and the german navy couldn't even defend the german coastline. The german army in general is not a modern military and those who enlist there are not exactly the best and the brightest and it shows.
1:36:36 thank you for sharing and God bless ,stay safe.
The first and only frigate who makes "knock knock tut tut" sounds at firing :D
I want a new Bismark. : /
On the way to Red Sea ✊
The narrator said “no one messes with the Hessen”… why wouldn’t you just say “no mess’n with the Hessen”…?
Greeat video Thank you
I have seen her in Iceland port! Big one!
Love the banging on the desk as gunfire stand in. Reminds me of when we played pretend as kids.
I passed the German Bundeswehr navy test and will become in many years either NCO Electrician or Navigator. What should I choose between of them?
I am thankful for the German people and her Navy to be allies not enemies any more since ww2 Germany has been a great ally hope Germany will maintain its ally with the United States
YOU can have DIVERSITY, I’ll take ALL GERMANS🇩🇪❤ IF you had to pick 1000 people to start a nation with, you’d pick 1000 Germans if you were smart. --DEUTSCHLAND 🇩🇪
YEAH , IT'S SUCH A PLEASURE TO SEE EUROPE UNITED. ONE PEOPLE, ONE NATION.
I also like the Frigate Hessen beer stay safe
missed the chance to say "No one's messin with the Hessen"
15:10, a lot of stuff is out of scale and not shown correctly. This is what is called a sabotage display as the real display is highly classified
Proper responses on the time of need is be prepared beforehand that the other ways is also need to apply when the situation is happen at any expectations. So be ready at all times when you're on the battle's zone.. But sometimes.. We are caught on the time are not prepared. When we are on the out of the blue's situation..
2 months ago. 4th April 2024. I saw Sachsen class frigate off the coast of Plymouth England. There is another ship, I believe it was Dutch destroyer. I could not see the hull number, but from the Silhouette. They were certainly Sachsen class and De Zeven Provincien class.
Germany 🇩🇪 absolutely true
German ships are totally amazing!
Impressive... Enough about me. Now about the documentary...
Lol 😂
lol
I love the ship and submarine videos
Awesome….”what did you do this weekend”? 😉👍😀
im glad to see German and American militaries working together, I have German ancestry and think its time i can feel German pride without getting accused of White Supremacy God bless all those ypung men and women in strike group8
Das einzige was ich fühlen kann ist dein "American pride". Man kann ich stolz sein das mein Land eine US Marionette ist. Bin total stolz auf mein Land!
Imagine if Germany actually spend their 2% of GDP on defense as required by NATO. This ship probably won’t run out of ammo two weeks after a war.
The great" Krigsmarine"....👍🏻❤🇩🇪👏👏.....!!!
ALL THAT POWERFUL BEAUTY COMBAT APARATUS CAN BE FINISHED IN A MATTER OF SECONDS...
Al ver al Hessen recuerdo a los grandes y bellos acorazados de bolsillo que fabricaba Alemania en la II guerra mundial., los aliados no tenían el ingenio para replicarlos, ellos solo tenían cantidad no CALIDAD...!!!
Still think that captain should be on a u boat
