Frigate shadowed Russian convoy
On May 31, 2026, the 'Sachsen-Anhalt - F 224', while transiting from Wilhelmshaven into the Baltic Sea, — jointly with Danish naval units — shadowed a Russian convoy, which consisted of four vessels arriving from the Mediterranean. Included in the group was the frigate 'Stoikiy', which as recently as February had been in the Strait of Hormuz, conducting exercises with the Iranian Navy. Also part of the Russian formation was the 'Sparta' (IMO: 9268710), a vessel purchased from Germany ten years ago—which has recently been utilised for arms shipments and was enroute from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Baltiysk, where it arrived on June 2.

Fregate assisted disabled motor yacht
In the morning of July 11, 2020, the ‘Sachsen-Anhalt‘ assissted the disabled Lithuanian m/y ‘Bella‘ with a crew of three on board in the Jade fairway off Wilhelmshaven. They had issued a distress call at 6.47 a.m. The fregate launched a Buster, a small speedboat, which reached the yacht at 7 a.m. The anchor chain had got entangled in a propeller and disabled the boat. At 7.30 a.m. also the lifeboat ‘Fritz Thieme‘ of the DGzRS reached the site. Along with a second buster they jointly managed to free the propulsion of the yacht with a hawser which was pulled underneath the hull. Then the ‘Fritz Thieme‘ took the ‘Bella‘ in tow to Wangerooge.
