Ludwigshafen assisted grounded motor yacht
On May 13, 2014, the "Ludwigshafen" while being enroute to an anchorage off Neustadt, received a mayday call of the motor yacht "Calypso" which had run aground in the Lübeck Bight. The corvette headed eastward and took over the on scene command in coordination with the MRCC Bremen. Also a police boat and a lifeboat from Travemünde attended, but had too much draught to reach the "Calypso". The "Ludwigshafen" launched a speedboat which established a towing connection to the lifeboat which pulled the yacht off and towed it to Travemünde.
