Fregatte Bayern

In August 2021, the German government sent its frigate "Bayern" on a training and exercise cruise to the Indo-Pacific. Territorial conflicts in the South China Sea and the pandemic with its travel restrictions complicated the voyage. Now the frigate is on its way back and is making a stop in Colombo, Sri Lanka. We want to take stock and are therefore speaking with the commanding officer and crew of the "Bayern" in a video interview. What experiences did they have on the high seas and in the Indo-Pacific?
