The Neustadt class was a class of eight patrol boats of the Federal Border Guard , which were purchased in 1969 to 1970th In the naval system, they were called patrol boats class 157 and in the federal border police they were called BGS type 157 .
prehistory
When it was set up in 1951, the Maritime Border Guard, as part of the Federal Border Guard, had a large number of ships and boats. In 1956 the maritime border protection was dissolved and most of its personnel and material was transferred to the German Navy .
In 1963, the Federal Ministry of the Interior under Minister Hermann Höcherl decided to set up a new Maritime Border Protection Association for border security in the Bay of Lübeck between Priwall and Fehmarn under the name of the Federal Border Guard (BGS See). The installation began in 1964 with four patrol boats of type KW 15 borrowed from the Navy .
Characteristics of the Neustadt class
In order to equip the BGS See in accordance with the order, the procurement of ten new buildings was initiated, of which only eight were actually procured. The boats bore the names of locations of the Federal Border Police, the type boat being named after the home port of the BGS See, Neustadt in Holstein .
Of the eight boats were seven on the Lürssen -Werft in Vegesack built, the eighth was on the Schlichting-Werft in Travemünde . The boats were armed with two 40-mm Bofors guns introduced as standard weapons in the German Navy . Their drive system consisted of three diesel engines, two of which, each with 3000 hp, drove the outer shafts equipped with four-bladed controllable pitch propellers, which gave the boats a top speed of 30 knots . The third motor worked via the medium shaft on an Escher-Wyss drive, which was intended for marching and maneuvering travel.
Others
In the early episodes of the Coast Guard television series , the coast guard boat Albatros was portrayed by a Neustadt- class boat .
