One might be tempted to say that this photo is a pretty good illustration of the condition of German navy, airforce and army...

person

Thanks davidships,that's a sad and disturbing state of affairs.

person

Thanks for the good explanation, that's all right so far. The government said she will be finished in in summer 2020

person

She went to Elsflether yard in 11/2015 for a €9.6mn refit/repair job and within a year that had risen to €64.5mn. The latest amount accepted by the Government is €136.0mn. Meanwhile official incompetence, corrupt payments to officials and the on-loaning of navy receipts by Elsflether into managers' private ventures in gold-mining and film production etc; some heads have rolled at Elsflether. Then the drydock-owner Bredo tried to hold the ship to ransom to secure further payments of over €5mn (the claim will instead go to court). So far €70mn of taxpayers' money has been paid out.

Haven't found a comprehensive reporting of this story in English, but German-speaking members who haven't seen it already may be interested to see this NDR documentary:
