[2] Due to the missing reunification all vessels with Eastern-German names had to be renamed for the TLW-verse. Brandenburg was supposed to be named Deutschland anyway. After the canceled ANS (anti-navale supersonique, a(nother) failed French-German arms project, in this case the successor tot he MM38/MM40 Exocet) the F123 was rearmed with Harpoon in the early 2000s. At the same time NSSM was replaced with ESSM and all received LFTASS and 2 MLG-27.
[3] Real life Sachsen class. Four units commissioned from 2002 to 2005. Have 48 mk-41 vls cells instead of 32. Last unit rushed into service when hostilities commenced. Designated as destroyers instead of frigates, as per their primary role, air defence
[4] Similar to the real life class 130 Braunschweig but with the originally intended UAVs, RBS-15 Mk III anti-shipping missiles and the Polyphem-S SSMs. In addition, installation of TAS and 2 triple TTs possible. Tasks are ASuW, coastal ASW, mine laying and serving as command platforms for a division of FPBGs. Replacing 10 oldest class 148 Tiger FPBGs, 5 class 420 Thetis corvettes and 1 class 421 Hans Bürkner (former) corvette.
[5] Commissioned 2/year beginning in 2001 from two yards. 2 units were rushed into service when hostilities commenced, 2 still unfinished in the TLW-verse.
[6] Transferred from dissolved 2nd Squadron. Modernized early 1990s to 143A standard but with more modern ESM/ECM. All 143 had in addition an MSP-500 added in the early 2000s. Replacement of MM-38 Exocets canceled, mine laying capability (12 slots).
[7] Replacement planned starting in 2007 after the last K130 is commissioned. Possible common replacement with remaining class 143A/B FPBGs.
[8] Stationed at various bases normally. Operate from Neustadt in times of war. In real life only 5 units were build 1993/4.
[9] No permanent unit. Consists of coast guard vessels that will regroup in Cuxhaven in times of war to form 2. Coastal patrol sq.
[10] No permanent unit. Consists of 12 multipurpose research and trials boats. Can be used as auxiliary mine sweepers and coastal patrollers. In real life the program was cut to 3 medium and 5 small sized boats.
[11] Commissioned 2/year from TNS, Emden and HDW, Kiel beginning in 1995. Basically a U212 but without the improvements enforced by the Italian participation, mine laying capability added through removable external mine dispensers (24 slots)
[12] Replacement with an improved U212, designated U 212 ICD planned, beginning in 2008, common procurement together with Norway, Italy, Greece, South Korea, and possibly Australia and Canada.
Second date given is date of upgrade, mine laying capability through removable external mine dispensers, 24 slots.
[13] Replacing remaining mine sweepers class 341 Schütze. All MCMVs use a common hull, commissioned 4/year beginning in 1989 from 3 different yards. Beginning with the second batch MJ 332 they are equipped with an AAW self defense system consisting of a lightweight RAM (11 rounds), TRS-3D/8, MSP-500 and 1 MLG-27. Back fitted to older units until 2005.
[14] MJ 334 was the classification for the Minenjagd (mine hunting) 2000 program canceled in 2004. It consisted of a command platform and 2 unmanned remotely operated SWATH boats. Replacing 12 class 331 Lindau mine hunters and 6 class 351 drone control ships.
[15] 10 additional units procured to replace 18 inshore minesweepers.
[16] Former mine sweepers class 343 Hameln converted to serve as control platform for the modified Troika system, replacing the class 351 Lindau in that role.
[17]In addition to the 18 units built in 1980/81, 12 new and improved unites are introduced in the late 1990s when the Advanced Troika System was introduced.
[18] After the canceled US P-7 project, 12 P-3C were bought from the USA, replacing all other Atlantics. P-3C is planned to be replaced with either the P-8 Poseidon, or an as of yet undesignated European variant based on the Airbus A-320

[21] A total of 20 MH-90s planned.
[22] Replacing the old DO-28 in the same role.
[23] Introduced with the K130.
[24] Due to Germany's constitutional inability and political unwillingness to participate in military and humanitarian out-of area missions, Nato pressured Germany to strengthen NATO's northern flank by adding its own amphibious capability to lessen the strain on other Nato partners and free forces for other missions. Therefore Germany participated in the Dutch / Spanish LHD program and license-built two Enforcer 13000 (Rotterdam/Galicia).
[25] New builds for the LHD. Same as used in the Netherlands and in the UK.
[26] Butt means flounder fish
[27] Two army battalions were transferred to the navy to serve as marine assault force with remaining transformed former amphibious group as new marine force.

[31] Mine divers are allocated to the 332/334 class MCM vessels, usually one SNCO and two ratings/NCOs per boat
[32] Strandmeister: Preparation and onsite organization of landing procedures
[33] Conducts selection / training for the Mine Divers and Combat Swimmers
[34] Tasked with harbor and other installations security, limited amphibious landing/assault capabilities i.e. beach head security.
[35] Armed with the same AAW defense system as MCMV: 1 RAM, 2 MLG-27, TRS-3D/8, MSP-500.
[36] Originally built to support class 148 Tiger FPBGs, stationed with now dissolved 2. FPBG Sq.
[37] Class 404B is a modification to the standard class 404 tender adding a permanent mine laying capability.
[38] Class 404C is a specialized submarine support version of the standard class 404 tender. Changes include capability for refueling the fuel cell powered SSKs.
[39] Basically a modified class 404 using same hull, propulsion but build as small tanker, replacing the 4 class 703 Walchensee in the same role.
[40] Stationed at one each at Flensburg, Olpenitz, Eckernförde and Kiel. Also used as training ships naval special forces.
[41] Same as real life EGV 702 Berlin but armed with similar AAW defense system as MCMV: 2 RAM, 4 MLG-27, TRS-3D/16, MSP-500.. 4 additional units planned to replace remaining tankers and transporters, maybe to a modified design.
