She is the pride of the German Navy: the frigate Hessen is a state-of-the-art military ship specially designed for air defense. Since 2006, the high-tech giant has been in service with a crew of 255. In the world's largest maritime maneuver, the "Hessen" trains as part of the U.S. aircraft carrier group in strategic interaction with six other warships.

It’s cool to see Germany 🇩🇪 and the United States 🇺🇸 together working together with the really big stuff
I was in the US Navy and got drunk as hell on this ship after bumping into some of the crew at a Chili’s restaurant. They had a makeshift techno nightclub going on inside, shit was wild…..lol she was clean, great crew, very well maintained, thanks for the memories Frigate Hessen 🫡
Rgrt
and when you were walking to y our bunk you bumped into your secret gay lover and u born banged one another out in the top bunk where no one could see right seaman???
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!!
Realy.
WELT and DW, just like every other ''Made in Germany'' is absolutely great.
Hitler 🤔
its laughable to call DW a legitimate source of information
DW IS A LIBERAL JOKE AND GERMAN INDUSTRY IS SLOW...NOT EVEN TOP 5
@@jonnieinbangkok While still terrible, Hitler was Austrian.
@@jaeger5060 By birth yes...by choice German; and of course German head of state from 1933-1945.
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!
You are damned right...
As a German American, seeing the Hessen at Norfolk is a tear jerker. We've come a long way in the last 80 years.
From which generation are you? The warmongers or the 'peacemongers'?
@phillipbanes5484 You're entitled to your wrong opinion, and that's ok 👍
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
@@lampegutt123 if any German Politician would even say the word aircraft carrier(or Flugzeugträger lol) he/she would probably lose their Job on the same day
A truly great ship and great crew, it was awesome being onboard
Beautiful ship. Let’s keep the Red Sea open - greetings from Canada!! 🇨🇦 🇩🇪
20 years as a sailing engineer. This is the most comprehensive life aboard ship video I've ever seen.
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…
I love Germany. May God continue to bless the country.
Bring It Germany.

seems you're neither german nor have spent much time actually living amongst germans in germany
Wo du recht hast, hast du recht
This ship has the happiest cook I’ve ever seen.
Glad to see the Hessen and the Norwegian ship in these roles. Such things strengthen the bonds that keep us as allies and shows we are united on the seas. Any enemy would have to be crazy to attack such a force.
And my grandfather can remember Germany occupying him in Norway.. so strange how Germany is not criticised constantly for not being more militaristic 😂
@@lampegutt123 at this point, common foe, same as always. RU-putin. Communist China.Still going to sea.

Well done ladies and gentlemen , it's great to see such professional young people carry out their duties with such a high degree of skill and confidence , may you ALL return to your families and homes safe and sound knowing your service is truly appreciated by those of us whom you protect , proud of you all , thank you for your service .
Their Navy experience will help prepare them for the future, just as mine did 50 years ago.
You have forgotten the Ladymens.

Their uniforms are kick ass. The captains hat is exactly like those of the U-boat captains of WWII.
@@nathanielnats4373A U Boat is a submarine. The way I understand it is that the "U" stands for "under water". I hope that helps. Be blessed.

Excellent Nothing like a finely tuned ships company during exercises
Glad we are on same side 🇬🇧 👍
25:17.... The Cooks onboard the ship are the epitome of Morale and Happiness of the crew members. I truly believe ALL cooks should get a departing award for all their hard work and dedication. 👏🏽👏🏽❤❤🧑🏽🍳🧑🏽🍳🍕🍕🍔🍔🍟🍟🌭🌭🍿🍿🥓🥓🥚🥚🍳🍳🍇🍇🍉🍉🍎🍎🍒🍒🍓🍓🍑🍑🍌🍌
There is strength in unity... Hence why so many are trying to divide
*Ruzzia
I absolutely love seeing the German flag , understanding they are allies.
And above it is the US American flag. In short, Germany is on the leash of Uncle sam, if you know what I mean
@@axmat3436NO we don’t know what you mean- we are glad that Germany is in NATO and integrated with our Navy. I rather have Germany on our side.
“Attack of the killer tomatoes”!! 🤣😂🤣 I love Germans sense of humor, it’s great! Almost as nice as the Brit’s dry cheeky humor!
I miss my navy ship sea duty It was rough being in deck dept on both my ships. We did lots of dangerous jobs but we kept our ships in good condition on outside and inside.
Come visit at the USS Iowa! You're always welcome! 💯🤝👌👀🗽⚓🇺🇲
Incredible story! I didn't know that naval maneuvers could be so intricate. The Hessen looks to be a very versatile ship.
Pretty awesome firepower on this ship.
That what I did on my duty on my first ship Orient express USS white plains afs 4' My ship did this type of duty to resupply our whole strike groups.
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...
That's cute.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Wow, what a Vessel She Is! Take a Bow Men and Women of the Hessen! Now that is what I call a Real Exercise!
…. 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.
Pretty cool ship. I am happy they are with us on patrol When I was in 7th fleet duty we work with japanese navy most of time an south korean navy.
Godbless Germany 🇩🇪/ America 🇺🇸 sending love ❤ from my our beloved country ❤🇵🇭❤🇩🇪 ❤ 🇺🇸 ❤
3:16 now I know for what I was training all my teens. thank you.
Great documentaries...love watching them!
Dear WELT giving an excellent information. Thank you

Momento único para mim. Assisti esse vídeo num misto de sentimentos: a paz desejada mas a guerra consequência. Amo os dois países: algumas razões especiais outras por admiração pelo patriotismo , trabalho e preparo para a vitória em todas as atividades. Planejamento para melhores resultados. União fortalecedora entre os dois países hão de estabelecer o fim das ideias de extermínio de um povo! Deus os proteja!
Willy is a keeper and your back and forth is good.
My second ship USS new jersey bb62 we had our battleship battle groups. Off coast of California many times. That was cool we were just like carrier strike groups But just around my ship. We had huge escourts like our carriers.
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. It is great to have such great relations between these great countries and am proud to have them as such strong allies!
Great documentary ❤
Very Nice, enjoyed!
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".
The German practice certainly sounded odd to my American ears, but it seems to be effective in ensuring orders are understood.
@@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.
@@thorhh Thanks for the comment; very informative!
Really cool video! Super interesting, I have to be honest. Reminds me of the US Navy video, behind the scenes, on an American submarine.
🇩🇪USA largest Ethnic group is German, for now anyway.......therefore whatever greatness young America has accomplished, the largest chunk is from a Germanic effort.......Intelligent Organized Loyal Hard Working , Thats what Germans deliver and thats why we need em....A Certain people planned on making the German strain disappear , 80 years ago they wrote books on it....I myself am very happy to report that around 1600AD that Germanic blood made its way to North America South America Australia South Africa--DEUTSCHLAND 🇩🇪 Love From Texas❤
1:36:36 thank you for sharing and God bless ,stay safe.
Great show. I enjoyed it very much.
Very interesting video, spent time in Germany in the 80's while playing war games aka REFORGER!! Gr8 beer & R&R very nice friendly people, while there.
That is one hell of a frigate armed with tons of German stopping power.
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..
Awesome….”what did you do this weekend”? 😉👍😀
A real impressing ship and crew. 👍 from Sweden.
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?
I agree. They look like machinist rather than Navy
Are you referring to the blue digital camo?
@@Gridlocked yes :)
@@pezpengy9308 Those are no longer in service.
ALL THAT POWERFUL BEAUTY COMBAT APARATUS CAN BE FINISHED IN A MATTER OF SECONDS...
Danke für euren Dienst
I love the ship and submarine videos
Cool documentation
"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.
not really. Its just a romantic point of view of germany
@@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.
@@valeriamaya8907 You've clearly provided fairly credible info resources, good job.
@Valeria Maya Das liegt daran, weil es europaweit Ausschreibungen für den Bau des Flughafens gab! Wer billig bauen will, der baut zweimal!
Until you have to pay to get it fixed. Better have lots of Euros 💶 in the bank.
German ships are totally amazing!
Looking sharp F-311 Roald Amundsen. Remember to do your damage control drills and close those water tight doors. You guys rock!
Great job guys
i think its just great, seen germs history,That they now have a top of the line warship legally. And that they together with many other countrys, work on the safety of the world. Cauze tegether with their mental power, its a real joy and benefit to have them on the good side. Thanks to all the people working for the safety and free world for us. Pls Keep up your good important and responsable work.
Ehm the Germany had top of the line warships again since 1955
Nothing beats a bit of aggressive knocking.
The Skipper has them Mad staring eyes. Good Luck
Hessen beautiful looking frigate guys; wish the dockside supply loading was easier and faster. Good job!
I have seen her in Iceland port! Big one!
I’m thrilled to see the German ship working with our (US) Navy. Can we just take a moment for how smikin’ hot their executive officer is? 🇩🇪⚓️
This is a very compelling video 📹
Awesome content
The cooks are the mvps
Pretty darn cool.
Very cool! Great documentary! Safe journeys to the crew of the Hessen! 🫡
Greeat video Thank you
Perfect from perfect perfect perfect perfect
A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.
its nice how much of the dutch Zeven Provincieen class equipment is used on the sister ships of the german Hessens class, this way both our navies stay required by the us navy, and to imagine the dutch provinces class vessels got an even newer smart L radar
Des Peuples de Bonne Volonté !
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.
Well done lad great video make them Abit longer but in fairness to u top class subscribe to this man's channel
Good to learn for national defense and survival.
I liked the message from FOST staff (1:08:00) 09Nov17 :) ~ They always sink you in the end. That's a damage control board, it would have been covered in flood & fires lol
They are powerful
Very nice
I also like the Frigate Hessen beer stay safe
Very understanding English!
Nice...
Very impressive crew and ship. With renewed tensions in the world it is good to see NATO military is on the ball and as professional as they come.
Lot of Americans in the comments do not seem to really understand in what state Germany is and why when it comes to military strength
The supply ship replenished the Hessen with plenty of gummy bears. Some dangers are worth the risk and morale is everything.
Love how they wear the same hats from Das Boot

Great production, thank you! Wondering if this fine ship could also ever help to protect Taiwan~
At 1:03:36 is that guy wearing the Sentinel Task Force patch from Call of Duty Advanced Warfare?
Great documentary but can someone explain how a XO is only a first lieutenant when other higher ranks on ship
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?
YEAH , IT'S SUCH A PLEASURE TO SEE EUROPE UNITED. ONE PEOPLE, ONE NATION.
Ich durfte teil der Crew sein September 2009 bis Dezember 2009, als 44er
I just want to know does our allies navy ships personal speak only there language or English also?
It looks like a type 45 destroyer
