The ships of the F120 Köln class of frigates were the first major warships built in Germany after World War II.

They were the world's first ships to feature a combined diesel and gas propulsion system (CODAG).
The ships received numerous refits during their long careers with new electronics and torpedo tubes.
They were replaced by Type 122 / Bremen class frigates in the 1980s and four ships were sold to the Turkish Navy.
