Earlier this month, Formidable-class frigate RSS Tenacious, embarked with Sikorsky S-70B Seahawk naval helicopter, and Invincible-class submarine, RSS Impeccable, conducted a Passage Exercise (PASSEX) with the German Navy’s Baden-Württemberg class frigate FGS Baden-Württemberg. This was also the first time that RSS Impeccable participated in an exercise with a foreign navy since her commissioning in September.
During the PASSEX, both navies conducted a series of communication exchanges, as well as manoeuvring and warfare serials which helped to enhance mutual understanding.
Our sailors also interacted with their counterparts from the German Navy, including during a reception on board FGS Baden-Württemberg when she was alongside RSS Singapura – Changi Naval Base. Our Chief of Navy Rear Admiral (RADM) Sean Wat and senior RSN officers also joined their counterparts, including the German Chief of Navy Vice Admiral (VADM) Jan Christian Kaack, for the reception.
