德国海军的中期发展计划,将轻型护卫舰的研制列为其发展的重点之一,主要原因有二:其一,在近海作战中,由于作战海域水浅,使用大型水面舰只会受吃水的局限;其二,德国海军现有的快艇艇龄已逾20年,需要淘汰。加之在近海作战快艇的耐波性能和海上自持力均显不足。因此,未来在德国及盟国联防海域内作战,需要有一种 The German Navy's medium-term development plan lists the development of light frigate as one of the focuses of its development for two main reasons. First, in coastal operations, the use of large surface ships will be limited by draft due to the shallow waters in combat. Second, the German Navy's existing speedboat has been aged over 20 years and needs to be eliminated. Coupled with the wave performance in the offshore combat speedboats and maritime self-sustaining were significantly inadequate.
