German frigate Hamburg will participate in the International Maritime Defense Show (IMDS-2011) to be held in St. Petersburg, German naval attaché in Moscow Captain Gerd Hamann said to the Central Navy Portal.

That is going to be the first visit of German warship to participate in IMDS.

Possibly, the highest rank aboard the frigate would be deputy inspector of German Navy Rear Admiral Heinrich Lange.
