Fast patrol boat loaded onto Happy Sky to be taken to recyclers in Aliaga
Since July 28, 2025, the 'Happy Sky' has berthed in the Naval Depot in Kiel in order to take on board seven former German fast patrol boats, which will be transported to Aliaga for recycling. first boat to be loaded was the 'Ozelot' on July 30, followed by the 'Frettchen', 'Hermelin', 'Hyäne', Puma', 'Wiesel' and 'Zobel'. The boats were decommissioned in 2016 with the 7. Speed Boat Squadron in Rostock. A first attempt toto load the boats had failed in November 2024 because too much marine growth had accumulated on the hull due to the long lay-up, so that the straps could not be safely attached. Divers have meanwhile removed the obsttructions, and loading operations were underway as of Aug 4.
