In December 2024, Germany's Bundestag budget committee has approved funding for the construction of six Type 127 air defence frigates, including five confirmed vessels and an option for a sixth. These advanced ships will replace the three Sachsen-class (Type 124) frigates commissioned between 2004 and 2006, which are set to be retired in the early 2030s.
