Two state-of-the-art submarines for the Republic of Singapore were launched in a festive ceremony at the Thys-senkrupp Marine Systems shipyard in Kiel in December 2022. Among the 350 guests invited to the event were German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Singapore's Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong, Minister for Defence Ng Eng Hen and other high-ranking representatives of Germany and Singapore. Lady Sponsor of both vessels was Ho Ching, wife of the Prime Minister. At the push of a button, she launched both boats simultaneously, giving them the sonorous names »Impeccable« and »IUustrious«. |
