The ships of the F120 Köln class of frigates were the first major warships built in Germany after World War II.
They were the world's first ships to feature a combined diesel and gas propulsion system. The ships received numerous refits during their long careers with new electronics and torpedo tubes. They were replaced by Type 122 frigates in the 1980s and four ships were sold to the Turkish Navy.
List of ships
All ships were stationed as second frigate squadron in Wilhelmshaven.
