MKS 180 (Mehrzweckkampfschiff 180) is the working title for a planned frigate class intended to replace the Brandenburg-class frigates for the German Navy. The ships are to be the largest surface warships to join the Navy since World War II. The first ship is planned to be commissioned in 2028.

Yeah in an area where the Type 26s exist
…it’s pointy 🙁
*POINTY IS SCARY*
looks weirdly matte
Pretty!
Perfect! Build enough of them ! European navy is currently too small for all the challenges we are facing.
Awesome! Can you please don’t sell them to china and russia atleast? :/
completely undergunned for it’s size
Good new addition to NATO 😏
This looks like something elon musk would build.
Where is the thing that goes brrrrrt ?
Nearly 10000 tonnes and only 16 VLS cells for which all are used for ESSM’s? That’s not a lot of firepower relative to tonnage. The type 26 and their derivatives all carry double the missile load.
I understand that they have issues with a lack of ports overseas and thus need the range but their allies do have ports.

Now that is a pretty ship! She looks fast.
Edit: ah they’re not built yet! I thought the pic looked a bit off. Either way, cool ship.

Nice rendering but that main broom looks too much like an actual gun.

From the mist a shape, a ship is taking form…
Seems a Lamborghini design 😛
