On 4 May 2023, construction number 7 of the Braunschweig class was christened "Emden" by Ms Annette Lehnigk-Emden at the traditional Hamburg shipyard Blohm & Voss, which has belonged to Lürssen Defence since 2016 and is now part of the NVL Group.

Now "U-Boat Worx" has teamed up with the Italian design studio "Officina Amare" to design the interior - virtually for the time being, of course.

From 17 to 26 February, the two Russian units took part in the trilateral exercise "Mosi II". At the invitation of South Africa, the host and three units of the Chinese navy practised with the Russian globetrotters on the east coast of South Africa.
