The German NVL Group has launched the construction of the first new-generation reconnaissance ship.
The company said that the German Navy will receive a total of three such Type-424-class ships.
The new reconnaissance ships are to replace the previous generation Type-423 reconnaissance ships in the German Navy.
In June 2021, Germany signed a contract with NVL Group to design Type-424 ships.
Following the approval of the Bundestag Budget Committee in July 2023, NVL Group and BAAINBw signed an amendment to the contract to begin construction.
