German Navy Fregatte Bremen Patch

The German Navy Fregatte Bremen Patch represents service on the Bremen-class frigates used by the Deutsche Marine (German Navy). The Bremen-class, designated F122, consists of eight frigates commissioned between 1982 and 1990 and designed primarily for anti-submarine warfare alongside surface and air defense roles. Each patch typically features distinct emblems, such as the ship’s name or silhouette, combined with the colors and symbols associated with the German Navy. The patch is constructed from embroidered fabric and includes a merrowed edge for durability. Such patches were worn by crew members as part of their uniform, signifying assignment to the Bremen-class vessels. Collectors and researchers value the patch for its association with Cold War and post-Cold War NATO maritime operations, as these frigates served in various roles until their decommissioning in the early 21st century. The patch serves as a reference point for naval insignia and German military history.
