Al Qahhar

Updated: Jun 1, 2023

26 MAY Al Qahhar F905 has been handed over to the Navy in Bremerhaven but so far we only hear Destroyer Brigade Command on the air with فارو and عشري . At least we know the correct spelling for the new ship.

29 MAY At least one Oliver Hazard Perry class frigate appears to be in the Western Med. Still haven't heard 905.


31 MAY Al Qahhar underway and approaching the English Channel according to AIS. Two frigates in the Med awaiting his first appearance on the airwaves.


31 MAY 2321Z Al Qahhar is on 18500khz. That is frequency reference 7C, change the 6 to 8. F904 Al Aziz is also on the frequency with a few others, we presume all in the Mediterranean. Al Qahhar of course is off the coast of the Netherlands heading to the Channel and transmitting AIS signal.
