The F124 Sachsen class is the German Navy’s latest class of advanced air-defence frigates. The design of the Sachsen-class frigate has enhanced stealth features designed to deceive an opponent’s radar and acoustic sensors. The class incorporates an advanced multifunction radar and a long-range radar which is purported to be capable of detecting stealth aircraft and stealth missiles.

Although designated as frigates, they are comparable to destroyers in capability and size.
