A statement from the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany on Monday, said the three ships -- Air defence Frigate Hamburg, the multi purpose Frigate Koeln and the Auxiliary vessel Berlin, which formed the training task group of the German Navy, would spend five months, touching three continents and visiting 18 harbours in 13 different countries.
The group has a total crew of 600, led by its commanding officer Captain Michael Budde, who would lead them around Africa to participate in numerous exercises with host countries.
While in Ghana, Captain Budde would call on the Chief of Naval Staff, the Tema Metropolitan Chief Executive, Traditional chiefs and the Harbour Master.
