German warship makes tight turns in high winds ⚓️ 🇩🇪 🇬🇧 

I wish the 🇬🇧👑⚓️ Royal Navy and the 🇩🇪⚓️ German Navy good luck and safe voyages.

Good to see the German Navy in action. Wish we’d never been on opposing sides, they know how to sail with some of the best equipment to ever be created, if not the best.

Brilliant video it was great to see the German war ship Die" Hamburg, turning etc thank you for a nice bit of video work well done

Excellent planning. Wheel over and use of both engines led to a perfect manoeuvre. Good job.

Excellent Seamanship!

Euch Allzeit gute Fahrt und immer eine Handbreit Wasser unterm Kiel .!!

Die " Hamburg " der Stolz der Deutschen Marine.❤

Thank you 🙏 very smooth U turn 👍👏👏👏on 💨 windy 🌬️ day 🛳️ ☝️

This training (usually minus the high winds) can also be witnessed regularily in own waters: Eckernförde and Kieler Förde

Well, I hope they got good marks for their sailing. It certainly looked nice and neat.

Wie heißt das Manöver, ist es ein Williamson-Turn? Es ist immer wieder erstaunlich auf dieser kleinen Fläche ein 6000 Tonnen schweres und 140 Meter langes Schiff wenden zu sehen, dabei verfügt die Sachsen-Klasse noch nicht mal über ein Bugstrahlruder! Ich durfte vor 30 Jahren auf einem vielleicht 90 Meter langen Frachtschiff bei einem Ankerplatzwechsel mit fahren. Wir sind in ein noch winzigeres Hafenbecken hineingefahren und ich hielt es für unmöglich, dort das Schiff richtig "einzuparken" zu können, aber der Kapitän bewegte das Schiff mit einer Seelenruhe, so als ob er einen Einkaufswagen in den Stellplatz zurückschiebt. Unglaubliche Leute, diese Seeleute! What is the manoeuvre called, is it a Williamson turn? It's always amazing to see a ship weighing 6,000 tonnes and 140 metres long turn around in such a small area, and the Sachsen class doesn't even have a bow thruster! Thirty years ago, I was allowed to sail on a cargo ship that was perhaps 90 metres long during a change of anchorage. We sailed into an even tinier harbour basin and I thought it would be impossible to ‘park’ the ship properly there, but the captain moved the ship with a calmness of mind, as if he were pushing a shopping trolley back into the berth. Incredible people, these sailors!

Fun to watch and very thoughtful for them to do the manouvers in full view of the shore.

Liebe Grüße aus meiner Heimatstadt Wilhelmshaven und dem Heimathafen der Hamburg❤❤❤❤

Devonport looks such a challenging dock to enter. No wonder it is used for sea training.

Nice shot with great close-ups.

Awesome, made it look easy!! Masters at work.

Being a citizen of Hamburg I must say that our grey motoryacht behaves quite well in the maneuvers (at least by watching from the outside, maybe there was some yelling on the bridge...). But - there is always a but - I noticed corrosion marks here and there. So there is some room for improvement, I believe. Go on fellows, keep her tidy! 🙂 And it is almost a shame that we couldn't watch the moment of docking.

At first I thought the video was sped up, but just an awesome view!

Super vidéo , le bruit du vent excellent !! Félicitation...

Verstellpropeller (Conttrollable Switch Propeller) Makes Thrust reversal possible without stopping the propeller shaft.

Nice turn!

Wow, what a maneuver. That fast in a narrow harbour. Possible only with this modern and fast responsible systems.Navigare necesse est👍👍

no doubt she'll find her way far and about in the south seas where she will be welcomed with open arms and beautiful sunshine.

Schönes Video der Hamburg!

Nice. It's sailing along steadily at 11.12 knots.

Fantastic - Phantastisch !

I'm ex Royal Navy 85/92 server on hms intrepid which was Portsmouth based ( pompey) and the 4 times we came in to guzz ( Plymouth) it was always windy, raining and a hard job getting in. I got a draft for hms drake for my 6 months off from ship but got it changed to hms nelson. I loved pompey, hated guzz. What I wouldn't do now to be 17 again. Wouldn't care where they drafted me.😁

Wow that's amazing

Gut gemacht, Herr Kapitänleutnant :)

So powerful

Als Hamburger, cool zu sehen!

Hamburg meine Perle

Served on the DRAB for 6 years before i shifted over to the navy infanterie :P Damn i still love "my" old lady

Thank You 😊

The most insane thing is, the Hamburg could have most likely done the same turn going full speed. Its insane how agile she is. Especially consideing she displaces almost 6000 tons.

Super cool video

Who else noticed the two sailors on the 50cals at the stern?

How German warship will make a difference in on the battlefield

It probably wasn't but it looks like it got quite close to the shore on that turn.

1. They had a port pilot on board. 2. It was pretty close to the red buoy and the rocks so not in the middle of the channel. The pilot was happy to steer this maneuver with a decent engine? Why so narrow, there's a great bay with all the time it needs to play it safe. Risky with high winds.

The German navy may be smaller these days than I should like, but sloppy they ain't.

Liebe Grüße aus Kiel 🇩🇪

👍❤️❤️😁

What do the Signal flags DRAB mean?

I wish there would be tokyo drift music in the background :D

Does that big black revolving telly get Netflix and Iplayer”

❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Still till this day, the sight of that ship has different reactions for many Americans and English. My grandfather for one.

..." WE"RE BACK !!"😆

I see she’s without SSMs given the empty racks. You’d think given recent events they’d be armed….

Those winds and waves are nothing. Go to the North Atlantic in November and December than you will know what real rough weather is like. The swells are so high you have to turn and ride the swells or they will damage a ships gun and missile launchers on the Forcastle.

🙋‍♂️

Is the aft radar above the Phalanx gun carcinogenic? I wonder if subatomic particles such as carcinogenic causing gamma rays, I believe can be deflected when it hit something like lead ships paint and be deflected on to a crews station .... please check it out. Another thing is lead ships paint good for overall sailors health and well being? Are all these "gotchas" deliberate?

How would these warships manage tsunami or a rogue wave?

How do we know it’s Deutsch?

No Anti Ship Missiles loaded....

Um ein Haar gegen die Felsen kajohlt.

This ship has one cannon on board. One.

German Uboat of the newest generation: Dives easily an can stay submerged forever.

No doubt a german submarine of the newest generation.

❤️🇩🇪🤝🇷🇺❤️

All the crew would rather be on board a U-Boot.

Go home.
