STEALTH, VERSATILITY and POWER
These recently delivered frigates for the South-African Navy feature the revolutionary CODAG-WARP® (WAter jet and Refined Propellers) propulsion plant, eliminating the funnels and thus allowing for an exhaust-free top deck design.
With all-around stealth leading to a dramatic reduction of all signatures, superb seakeeping and helicopter operations and a reduced crew the general purpose frigate momentarily represents the state-of-the-art technology in its class.

Superiority by Flexibility
The Combat Ship for the Littorals (CSL) is a highly innovative design incorporating an ingenious fusion of technologies including MEKO® Mission Modularity, extreme high speeds, a combination of steel hull and composite superstructure, an integrated mast, total stealth characteristics, a 360° bridge concept completed by all advanced MEKO®-features and thus presents the most advanced MEKO®-design in the product range of Blohm + Voss.
The MEKO® CSL is designed as a mono-hull with the hull constructed of higher tensile steel and the superstructure of FRP sandwich material. This choice was taken due to some advantages of this material combination, such as lower structural weight, which results in higher weight allowance for the Multi Mission payload, lower RCS due to similar electrical conductivity of both materials but higher flatness of the composite panels for the superstructure as well as a lower infra-red signature due to better thermal conductivity.
MEKO® D Frigate
A Multi-Purpose Warship
The well-known features of MEKO® -Technology and a number of striking innovations have been incorporated into the new MEKO® D design:
- DELTA hull form,
- Propulsion plant flexibility,
- Unmatched degree of redundancy, e.g. with the two-island-concept,
- Enhanced survivability,
- Lean manning,
- Full flexibility of combat system selection,
- High future growth capacity,
- Enhanced sgnature reduction,
- Scalability.
Main advantages of the DELTA hull form:
- Reduced resistance,
- Enhanced stability,
- Improved space onboard,
- Higher payload.
