The Hoyerswerda class ( NATO code name FROSCH-I-Klasse (Landungsschiffe); FROSCH-II-Klasse (Hochseeversorger)) was a landing ship and deep-sea supplier class of the People's Navy of the GDR , it is currently used by the Indonesian Navy .
The ships of the Hoyerswerda class were planned in the 1970s as Project 108 (landing ship) and Project 109 (deep sea supplier) and built from 1974 to 1980 at the Peene shipyard in Wolgast (now Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania ).
design
DropShips
A total of twelve landing craft of this class were built. They were supposed to replace the obsolete seal-class ships . The Warsaw Pact's plans for an emergency in the Cold War envisaged extensive amphibious warfare in the Baltic and North Sea , which is why the Warsaw Pact states built landing ships. The East German NVA had a regiment of mechanized infantry (MSR-28) that was trained for amphibious landing operations.
The ships could carry up to 280 soldiers and about seven tanks . For landing, the ships were driven as close as possible to the beach, where the vehicles could then either drive over pontoons or, in the case of floating tanks of the type BMP or PT-76, through the water on land.
The ships received an armament with which the infantry could be supported. Due to delivery difficulties on the part of the USSR, already planned rocket launchers of the type Grad-M (A 215) could only be installed from construction number 108.05 (the fifth ship of the class).
Offshore supplier
The Volksmarine needed new suppliers for their larger ship units in the mid-1970s. Therefore, the design for the landing ships was changed so that an offshore supply was possible. Two ships were equipped with a stabilized crane and additional loading hatches were installed. The rest of the conception was retained so that these ships could also land.
history
The landing ships were built from 1974 to 1980 at the Peene shipyard and then subordinated to the 1st landing ship brigade in Peenemünde . In 1980 the utilities were transferred to the 1st seizure ship department, also in Peenemünde.
All ships of the class were decommissioned on October 1, 1990, demilitarized at the Neptun shipyard in Rostock and sold to Indonesia in 1993 .
