The conversion and conversion to the MM38 Exocet missile system took place between November 29, 1976 and November 26, 1977 . With the conversion to the guided missile destroyer (DDG) it received the class designation 101A .
On May 8, 1980, during an exercise, the Bavarians collided with the fuel transporter Spessart of the 1st Supply Squadron, whereby the bow of the destroyer was pushed in as far as the breakwater. During the shipyard stay in Toulon, an emergency repair was carried out and Bayern received an emergency post.
In 1990, the Bavaria was the first German warship to visit the Israeli port of Haifa as part of the NAVOCFORMED AAG 109/90 and in 1992 the first German ship to be involved in an out-of-area operation , embargo monitoring in the Adriatic ( Operation Maritime Monitor ), participated.
