The five ships of the Type 352 Ensdorf class are former Type 343 Hameln class minesweepers that have been upgraded with the TROIKA PLUS system. Kiel Week (Kieler Woche is an annual sailing event in Kiel, Germany.
The Ensdorf class have three modes to clear mine fields:
- TROIKA PLUS: This system employs up to four remote controlled Seehund (sea dog or seal) drones which perform the sweep. Remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs is the common accepted name for tethered underwater Robots in the offshore industry The drones are small unmanned boats that can simulate the acoustic and magnetic signatures of bigger ships to trigger mines. Their small size and special construction let them survive the effects of exploding mines unharmed. A naval mine is a self-contained Explosive device placed in water to destroy Ships or Submarines Unlike Depth charges mines are deposited
- Mine hunting: Mines detected with the hull-mounted sonar can be identified and exploded with expendable Seefuchs (SeaFox) ROVs. Sonar (which started as an Acronym for sound navigation and ranging) is a technique that uses Sound propagation (usually underwater to navigate Remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs is the common accepted name for tethered underwater Robots in the offshore industry
- Classical minesweeping: Against moored mines the classical minesweeping using towed wire cutters to cut the anchors of mines can be conducted.
The Ensdorf class replaced the Type 351 Lindau class minesweepers in service with the German Navy. Type 320 Lindau class minesweepers was a class of German coastal mine warfare vessels built as part of the first FRG naval program. The German Navy ( Deutsche Marine ( is the Navy of Germany and part of the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces
