- Notes: 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. Augsburg was broken up in Hamburg, but four sister ships were sold to the Turkish Navy.
