For its fleet of frigates, the German Navy plans to replace its antiquated floppy disc system.

A number of German Navy submarine frigates still use 8-inch floppy disks for operation: the Brandenburg class F123 frigates, which were deployed in the 1990s. This demonstrates effectively how antiquated military technology can be in the modern era. Disks like these show how much defense capabilities have changed over the years and how much infrastructure has remained the same. Power generation and airflow management are 2 essential onboard systems that have demonstrated their significant need on these disks.
