SEA EAGLE II: Royal Huisman has built the world’s largest aluminium sailing yacht
The 81-meter contemporary schooner was perfectly on schedule for her delivery date, but Covid-19 restrictions in the Netherlands prevented the finishing touch from being completed.
Despite the strict regulations introduced last spring, the shipyard was able to get up in a very short time.
All this allowed the team to safely “pick up where they left off” in these extraordinary times and with very high quality standards that have made this shipyard an important reference all over the world.
Nearly all board systems, such as gensets, air conditioning, waste water treatment and electronics, were thoroughly tested in the year prior to launch to avoid any surprises during the commissioning stage.
Spectacular speeds over 21 knots can be achieved by the world’s largest aluminium sailing yacht by powering up SEA EAGLE II’s Rondal rig, which can carry over 3500 square meters of sail area evenly distributed over her carbon Panamax masts.
The full sail area is controlled by 34 winches from sailing system integrator Rondal.
The largest winches for the world’s largest aluminium sailing yacht – for the yankee, staysail sheets and mizzen sheet runners – are capable of a tremendous 18 tons (18000 kg) pulling load.
Thanks to these record numbers, SEA EAGLE II will be ranked among the top 10 largest sailboats in the world.
Upon delivery to her owner, she will be the largest aluminium sailing yacht in the world.
Her masts are over 60 meters high and the yacht has a 4-meter rudder, the largest ever built with this material.
The yacht will also have a hydraulic crow’s nest, which will rise up the main mast and give supreme 360-degree views out to sea.
The interiors consist of 6 cabins for 12 guests, a master suite and a cabin for 13 crew members.
Mr. Yin has wanted to reaffirm his confidence in the shipyard’s abilility to build his ultimate dream yacht, commissioning the SEA EAGLE II.
Royal Huisman ‘s team has make this great dream come true, keeping the promise ” If you can dream it, we can build it”.

Sea Eagle II: One of the world’s finest superyachts
- Toby Hodges
- July 5, 2023
Stunning images of the 81m schooner Sea Eagle II in French Polynesia are a rare chance to see one of the world’s most magnificent superyachts in full flight. Toby Hodges finds out more from the team behind the design
It’s very rare to see quite such a large vessel, the world’s largest aluminium sailing yacht in this case, truly in its element: sailing full bore in an idyllic location. To us sailing fans, it’s the equivalent of a birdwatcher photographing an exceptional species of finch, kingfisher or indeed eagle. With regards to Sea Eagle II , however, these images really do make you re-evaluate your impressions of scale.
We’ve talked in detail about this superyacht before, when it was just a vision, a project in build. But these pictures, showing it in full flight, help bring a long list of impressive technical statistics to life.
While there are many big yachts, there are very few sailing yachts as large as this – officially eight, but of those considered proper sail-powered rather than sail-assisted yachts, arguably only three. And certainly very few we’ve seen that can sail like this: seemingly with relative ease, control, power and grace.
The extensive photoshoot in French Polynesia shows Sea Eagle II really shifting under its own easily furled canvas. This should come as no surprise to anyone familiar with Dykstra Naval Architects. Look at the spray flying off the towering stemhead – this is no sailing motoryacht. From bow-on you can see the hull is comparatively very slender, with purposeful chines and a flare to the topsides aft. The waterline is fully extended as the sections transition from a rounded U-shape bilge forward to a flat run aft.

Combine this with the long glass deckhouse and it reminds of a modern explorer yacht or a naval craft. Its hull lines are strikingly efficient, purposeful even. Her 6m draught aside, you get the impression there is nowhere Sea Eagle II can’t soar to. That it has already completed a circumnavigation and sailed 45,000 miles in its first three years is less surprising when you consider just how long legged it is – indeed the crew and designers have reported sustained passagemaking speeds of over 20 knots.
But why the look, why that sailplan, and how did it get from concept to sailing in Pacific islands?
A classic start
The initial brief was actually for a more classical yacht, similar to the 90m schooner Athena that Royal Huisman built for Jim Clark in 2004, before the owner realised he’d prefer the benefits that come with a more modern shape with straight lines. This allowed for a much longer waterline and beamy transom for more stability, volume and comfort at less heel.
Passagemaking performance aboard a practical and safe yacht to manage easily was the target. Sea Eagle II was commissioned by an ageing owner who wanted a large, stable and easily driven yacht – which is why it ended up being twice the length and three times the volume and sail area of the previous Sea Eagle , a 43m yacht which launched from Huisman in 2015.

The modern look came from Dykstra’s Erik Wassen, lead naval architect for the project, who I caught up with to discuss how the design transpired and if it has fulfilled its brief. Where a classic yacht “has lots of details to give it life – I thought a round bilge boat with no detail on it is just incredibly dull,” he replies candidly. This helps explain the yacht’s prominent chine, “single aft, turning into a double chine forward, to give it detail,” while in the transom the topsides are inverted, and have some negative camber. “That’s what your eye picks up – it emphasises that masculine look.”
As well as the aesthetic trickery, it’s a shape that works from a naval architecture point of view too: “the knuckle gave me more beam in the forward end of the boat where we have the foremast. The chainplates can be separated more without having too much flare in the boat.”
To manage this canvas, 34 winches can all be pushbutton controlled from the helm stations. Photo: Tim McKenna
Sea Eagle II ’s striking styling is set off by the long deckhouse with its straight glass windows, which cements an explorer look. The UK’s Mark Whitely, who designed the interior, drew this profile. “We went with that and explored it further to sink the bridge half into the superstructure to keep the overall height limited,” Wassen explains.
A schooner rig featuring three carbon masts with furling booms was deemed the most effective way to give Sea Eagle II the most manageable sail power at the Panamax limit (61m). Dynarigs, as used on the Dykstra projects Maltese Falcon and Black Pearl , were not appropriate for an owner who preferred more classic styles. And while Wassen says they did consider square-top sails, the additional complication was considered too high at the time (around 2017). Instead, the three heavily roached mains have proven to provide ample sail area.
Royal Huisman’s sister company Rondal built the three equal size high modulus carbon masts, as well as the furling booms, captive and drum winches, while Carbo-Link supplied the carbon standing rigging.

Straightforward sailing
The beauty of the sailplan is that it can set so much canvas on easily managed push button furlers. The 34 winches are all interfaced and controlled by Rondal’s integrated sail handling system. The Stratis-built fore, main and mizzen sails can raise simultaneously thanks to plenty of hydraulic juice powered by twin 120kW gensets and power take-offs on the main engines.
When you include the staysails that can set off each mast and the yankee, there are seven furling sails from Doyle, totalling around 3,500m2. And that’s without a kite (which the new owners are looking into adding, with rumours of future racing events such as the RORC Caribbean 600 ).
“Tacking is very straightforward,” reported Royal Huisman’s commissioning skipper: “the mains mostly look after themselves with only minor adjustments.
“Gybing naturally takes a little more orchestration, as on any large yacht. But it is still a smooth and safe process.”

The yankee sheet has the most load, but even that’s on an 18-tonne pull winch, which is reasonably common in large yachts. To depower the sailplan, the crew typically reef from the mizzen first, with the reefs all on halyard locks.
In terms of performance, this is a mile-munching machine. “In a good breeze, on a beam reach, with reefed sails, it does 20 knots comfortably without pushing it,” Wassen reports. This is confirmed by Huisman’s commissioning skipper who reported high boat speeds that are easy to maintain: “We comfortably recorded 22 knots in moderate wind conditions. In fact, at 16-18 knots boat speed, I found myself regularly checking the B&G speed displays for confirmation because the motion is so relaxed. Sailing fast with just a gentle heel [typically max 10-15°], she feels very safe.”
Wassen stresses it’s never had a race crew aboard, so has never been pushed. “We know the boat has been doing sustainable 20 knot+ deliveries… so I think the performance polars we made are doable.”

He attributes the commendable performance to the long waterlines, where buttocks slowly rise to a transom that is only just clear of the water. But credit must go equally to the stiff and strong build. Typically yachts of this scale are built in steel, which results in a much heavier structure. Royal Huisman are masters in large aluminium craft and this, its largest to date, helped them further the technology – learnings which have continued to progress with the launch of its recent full performance yacht Nilaya and the colossal 85m sloop in build.
The complexity of Sea Eagle II ’s build, and its four years in engineering and construction, cannot be understated. The goal was to find the right balance between strength and flex, the former to ensure the necessary longitudinal strength and rigidity, the latter to absorb the dynamic shock loads from waves.

Glass doesn’t bend
An example of such a construction challenge lay with how to mount such a long, rigid deckhouse structure, which comprises so much laminated glass, onto a more flexible aluminium hull. “When we were doing the FEM [finite element method] analysis, we noticed that the glass mullions would be picking up a lot of the load,” Wassen explains: “the deck is participating in the overall structure and a boat with this beam will deflect and bend in waves.”
As glass won’t flex, the build team needed to include some tolerance between the roof and mullions. Aerospace specialists developed an adhesive specially for this project, using it to bond the forward section of the deckhouse to create 2cm of flex.

This long run of glass is central to the overall aesthetic, something Mark Whitely elaborates on: “The essence of the yacht’s appeal is illustrated by long, uninterrupted lines of glass, a subtle sweep of superstructure and a blister to enclose the semi-raised bridge.
“The proportions and low profile were driven by the owner’s request to have a continuous floor from the exterior dining space, right through the large main saloon to the forward dining saloon, with no steps.” The photos confirm side decks you could bowl down, and fore and aft decks clear enough for racket sports.

Elsewhere on deck there are foldout boarding platforms on both sides. Outside and inside worlds are separated by flush sliding glass doors which disappear into their own garages, while steps each side of the dining area lead to the expansive flybridge to offer another full deck of entertaining space and an ideal vantage point to helm from.
Another prime feature of Sea Eagle II’s design is the full bridge nestled between flybridge helm station and the main deckhouse, from which it can be commanded in heavy weather. Deciding at which of the many long tables to sit or relax at would seemingly be the only headache for owners and guests. Whether alfresco on the aft deck, inside/outside bar seating, the decksaloon or a formal dining and leisure area forward with 180° windscreen views, all are on the same level.
The main accommodation is for 12 guests, while forward of the foremast is a separate low profile entrance for the 14 crew to reach their quarters. The stowage space for toys is formidable, complete with cranes to launch all with minimal fuss.

However, while it offers palatial comfort at anchor, this is a yacht that clearly comes alive under sail. In summary, these photos prove what the jury at the Design & Innovation Awards 2021 said when awarding Sea Eagle II with the ‘Best Naval Architecture Sailing Yachts’ award. “She is not just a large cruising yacht with global capability but a beautiful boat that sails well.”

Sea Eagle – a true sailor’s superyacht
Three years after a low-key launch, captain mike douglass discusses the striking schooner as it embarks on a busy charter schedule….
Delivered in 2020 at the height of the pandemic, Sea Eagle ’s arrival on the superyacht scene was, as even Royal Huisman admits, ‘low-key’ compared with the stature it has now gained in the upper bracket of sailing superyachts.
TSG caught up with the stunning 81-metre schooner as it was completing a yard period at STP Palma ahead of a busy charter season. Cutting an imposing figure at the end of the dock, Sea Eagle has very few contemporaries for true comparison, whichever way you look at it.
As the world’s largest aluminium sailing yacht, it takes its place in the top 10, alongside Huisman’s Athena . A contentious list at the best of times, the key criterion that elevates Sea Eagle relates to the word ‘sailing’. Sea Eagle ’s comparatively light weight, long waterline and powerful, yet manageable, Panamax rig ensure it lives up to the cliché of being ‘a true sailing yacht’.
Originally built for a discerning owner with blue-water cruising and private usage in mind, it’s now under new ownership and ready to make a bigger splash. At the time of writing, it’s in Sweden, where it will spend the summer cruising the Nordic region before returning to the Mediterranean in late September.
According to Royal Huisman, the original brief for Sea Eagle was to “create an extremely comfortable and spacious yacht with good seakeeping and exceptional amenities for both guests and crew, offering outstanding passage-making performance so that the owner could take in as much of the world under sail as possible. A true sailor’s yacht – practical, powerful, safe and easily managed. Finally, it had to be functional, favouring simplicity and reliability over unnecessary frills.”
A walkthrough of the yacht clearly reveals that this brief has certainly been followed. The guest accommodation is spacious but not excessive. Undoubtedly, the designers could have taken more space for the owners’ areas, considering the available volume. Instead, it’s obvious that it has been intelligently used to provide the necessary storage, working areas and crew accommodation to fulfil the rest of its brief: that of an efficient world cruiser.
In the pantheon of very large sailing yachts, Sea Eagle is in the minority. It may seem like a misnomer, but a dirty secret of some large sailing yachts is that they don’t sail as much as their smaller cousins or common conception suggests.
The reasons for this are manifold. A combination of the extreme forces at play, the danger associated with accidents and the high cost of replacement and associated lead times in case of mishaps can leave crew skittish when it comes to hoisting solely for the purposes of a passage.
“ Sea Eagle has sailed over 55,000 miles in the first three years,” says its captain, Mike Douglass. “A lot of that has been under sail and without engines. It handles very well, and having the confidence to do these passages with very little engine use is a testament to the build quality.”
A contributing factor to this confidence is the fact that the massive sail area (2,580 sq m/27,770 sq ft upwind; 3,552 sq m/38,233 sq ft downwind) is spread over three masts. The hoisting and furling time is roughly equivalent to a sloop of 50 metres, meaning managing this kind of sail set-up is not as daunting as it may have been half a generation ago.
Behind this ability is the energy-generation and management system. Electrical and hydraulic power come mainly from the twin generators. In addition, there is a hydraulic take-off from each main engine and peak shaving from the powerful battery bank, resulting in a significant volume of hydraulic capacity (500kW) – well in excess of requirements to hoist fore, main and mizzen sails simultaneously.
The 60-metre carbon Rondal masts, as with all that leave the Rondal factory, are built in one piece. The carbon-fibre roller furling booms, captive reel and drum winches, and flush deck hatches were also manufactured by Rondal, while continuous carbon-fibre standing rigging was supplied by Carbo-Link. The sail plan is then managed by Rondal’s Integrated Sail Handling System which interfaces spars, rigging, winches and sailing hardware in a custom configuration.
“Environmental impact reduction is better achievable when the vessel is responsive to the breeze and can sail by wind to the desired destination,” says Erik Wassen, of Dykstra Naval Architects . “The powerful rig geometry of Sea Eagle can be quickly adapted to the conditions encountered, allowing her to safely sail for proportionately more miles of the journey.”
Douglass adds, “When you look down the line of the great Huisman sailing yachts using similar rigs – Blue Papillon , Hyperion – they are tried and tested. We’re just running three of them side by side.”
Sea Eagle ’s Panamax rigs are integral to its world-cruising credentials. The ability to transit the Panama Canal (while fitting under the Bridge of the Americas with a 61-metre clearance) means the yacht can sail from the Caribbean to the Pacific without the arduous trip around Cape Horn.
After a planned Caribbean charter season, and hopefully a racing schedule, that’s exactly where it will head. As with increasing numbers of intrepid yachts, the wilds of Central and South America await.
Large sailing yachts are idiosyncratic, none more so than Sea Eagle . They appeal to a smaller section of the charter market and have to contend with a smaller pool of prospective clients. And, at 550,000 euros per week (via Burgess as the sole CA), it’s at the sharp end of the sailing charter market.
“I have no doubt that what Sea Eagle offers more than overcomes this price point,” says Douglass. “We have a very experienced charter crew and some great sailors. The space on board, the comfort underway and the experience that we can offer, compared to what the same price gets you in the motoryacht market, it’s incomparable.”
Having been on the build crew and eventually captaining sailing yacht Vertigo , the 2011 67-metre Alloy Yachts ketch, through one of the busiest sail charter programmes imaginable, as well as more recently the 83-metre Abeking & Rasmussen motoryacht Secret , Douglass understands the finer points of successful sailing charters.
“There are minor adjustments that need to be made,” says Douglass. “For example, with a six-metre draft like we have on Sea Eagle , it’s vital to explain to guests who may not have experience on sailing yachts our limitations versus opportunities. We may not be able to get all the way into this bay, but we can offer this other experience in return.”
There are other subtleties that set Sea Eagle apart – less glamorous than the sailing capability but no less vital for its global chartering aspirations. The Pacific specifically tests the boundaries of a conscientious vessel’s garbage-management systems. Ironically, many will run out of cold storage before they run out of fuel. Having systems in place to manage overlooked factors such as this is vital to effective and low-impact chartering.
As experienced charter brokers will tell you, aligning the right client with the right boat in the right place is tough. Many owners are taking their yachts on global programmes that are redefining yachting’s global boundaries. is looking to follow suit.
However, the bread and butter of the charter market remains the Mediterrranean/Caribbean split season. Attracting clients to the furthest reaches of the Pacific, although richly rewarding for those willing, is still a challenge.
“Rather than sporadically picking up charters, the vision we have is to slowly build a network of charter guests that have an emotional investment in the yacht and are interested in its programme – people who have been on board, perhaps in the more traditional destinations, who we can share the yacht’s plans with and look 12 to 24 months down the line,” concludes Douglass.
“We are embarking on a busy and challenging programme. It’s great to have an owner who’s open to discussion and happy to let the expertise, both on board and in various fields or regions, guide us. Our approach is always to assess the process and make sure we are operating the boat as safely and effectively as possible.”

The contemporary flybridge schooner, SEA EAGLE II, nowadays SEA EAGLE, is a true sailing yacht. This 81m / 266ft beauty immediately earned her place alongside the shipyard’s Athena in the elite club of the world’s 10 largest sailing yachts. Delivered in 2020 under the shadow of the pandemic, SEA EAGLE II’s arrival on the superyacht scene was inevitably low-key.
Following her extensive world exploration, and with over 45,000 nm under her keel, Royal Huisman is pleased to set matters right and place this magnificent schooner in the spotlight she deserves: please find the article “THE SEA EAGLE SOARS” [ link ].

SEA EAGLE is currently Royal Huisman’s largest yacht. Project 410, the 85m / 280ft sloop, will take over this title on delivery. Nearly 60 years of aluminum yacht-building experience have provided the shipyard with a level of expertise in constructing hulls of this material that few shipyards can match. This is especially true for sailing yachts of this size. The advantages are equally large: lightness, acceleration, strength and fuel-efficiency being just a few characteristics of a true sailing yacht versus a heavy, sail-assisted motor yacht.
The brief for SEA EAGLE was to create an extremely comfortable and spacious yacht with good sea keeping and exceptional amenities for both guests and crew. She had to offer outstanding passage-making performance so that the owner could take in as much of the world under sail as possible. She had to be a true sailor’s yacht – practical, powerful, safe and easily managed. Finally, she had to be functional, favoring simplicity and reliability over unnecessary frills.

The sheer exhilaration of sailing at this speed cannot be overstated. There is a feeling of being connected to a natural force. This pace also makes it easy for her to relocate quickly, allowing you to sail where you want without sacrificing valuable time.

At anchor her vast deck spaces transform into a playground of possibilities. See the sun set with a cocktail on the flybridge as the chef prepares an informal dinner on the BBQ.

Enjoy a pre-dinner drink at the inside-outside bar on the main deck aft or take lunch in the open-air dining table shaded by the overhang before stretching out on the expansive aft deck. For special occasions there’s a formal dining room and lounge with wraparound views.
If you want to venture ashore to explore, she has a midships boarding platform that can be used in any conditions. Otherwise access to the water is via the folding swim platform aft, where the crew is ready to help you enjoy a vast range of watertoys, from waverunners to e-foils, SeaBobs to sailing dinghies, scuba diving kit to kayaks and SUPs.
When it’s time for bed, she has extremely versatile accommodation on the lower deck with two master suites, three twin suites and a gym that can convert into a children’s cabin, a nanny’s cabin with cot, or a staff cabin.

The World’s Largest Aluminum Sailing Yacht Just Launched—and It Has a Hydraulic Crow’s NestRoyal huisman’s 266-foot schooner is ready to set sail., rachel cormack. Digital Editor Rachel Cormack's Most Recent Stories
 Royal Huisman just made one helluva splash. The Dutch builder has rolled out the world’s largest aluminum sailing yacht to the delight of marine enthusiasts everywhere. The 266-foot schooner, known as Sea Eagle II , spread her wings and left the nest on Tuesday with her new owner in sight. Built for prominent Taiwanese businessman, philanthropist and owner of the first S ea Eagle, Dr. Samuel Yin, this gargantuan vessel is Royal Huisman’s largest vessel yet. Apparently, the serial yacht collector took the yard’s mantra “If you can dream it, we can build it” quite literally. The epic three-masted schooner eclipses the original Sea Eagle by more than 120 feet. It also boasts a further 800 GT in volume than its predecessor.
Sporting exterior lines by Dykstra Naval Architects, Sea Eagle II features a striking monochrome palette that is softened by the golden brown wooden deck. To reduce weight and increase performance, the schooner boasts a plumb bow, carbon rigging by Rondal and carbon fiber masts which measure more than 190 feet. Her 13-foot rudder is the biggest ever to be crafted out of carbon composite.  Royal Huisman/Facebook Mark Whitely Design—which also worked on the exteriors—gave the yacht’s lofty 1,150 GT interior a tasteful and contemporary feel. There’s space for up to 12 guests across six staterooms and one VIP suite, plus accommodation for 13 crew. In addition to an expansive formal dining room and lounge, there’s also a large alfresco dining area and sundeck to soak up the rays. But the real pièce de résistance is the hydraulic crow’s nest, which rises up the main mast to afford breathtaking ocean views. If you’d rather play in the water that watch it, Sea Eagle II will be stocked with all the requisite water toys, including two tenders, water scooters, kayaks and stand-up paddleboards. The yacht will now head to Royal Huisman Amsterdam to have her carbon composite Rondal Panamas rig installed, before undergoing sea trials and on-board crew training. She is expected to be delivered to Yin in spring. Rachel Cormack is a digital editor at Robb Report. She cut her teeth writing for HuffPost, Concrete Playground, and several other online publications in Australia, before moving to New York at the… Read More On:

Pictures: Inside the Launch of Royal Huisman's 81 Metre Yacht Sea Eagle IIInside the launch of sea eagle ii. The 81 metre three masted schooner Sea Eagle II has been seen for the first time after the yacht exited the shed on January 8. Sea Eagle II was commissioned by the owner of the 43 metre Royal Huisman sailing yacht Sea Eagle , which was delivered in 2015. The three-masted schooner is the owner's “ultimate dream yacht” the yard said. Penned by Dykstra Naval Architects and Mark Whiteley , Sea Eagle II is now progressing “on schedule”. The carbon composite Rondal Panamax rig is set to be installed ahead of sea trials and crew training. The yacht was sold in summer 2016 by Northrop & Johnson as Project RH400. The project was first announced at the 2017 Monaco Yacht Show, with the yard revealing it would be the largest Asian-owned yacht. The initial brief for Sea Eagle II called for a “world cruising, fast, comfortably and iconic looking” yacht. Sea Eagle II is now the seventh biggest sailing yacht in the world, as well as the world’s largest aluminium sailing yacht and the biggest yacht ever built by Royal Huisman. Accommodation on board is for a total of 11 guests and 14 crew. The three-masted schooner features a plumb bow and carbon rigging by Rondal. Sponsored listings Hypersonic Missile 'Dark Eagle': What Weapon Are the USA Transferring to Germany?I n Germany, American long-range weapon systems will be stationed again for the first time since the Cold War. Chancellor Olaf Scholz stated that the decision was long in preparation; however, a brief joint statement from the two governments surprised Germany, writes DW . There was no parliamentary or public discussion in a country that well remembers the massive and lengthy protests 40 years ago against the stationing of Pershing missiles: in October 1983, about a million Germans formed a human chain in protest – but achieved nothing. The then-Chancellor Helmut Schmidt, a Social Democrat like Olaf Scholz, pushed it through the Bundestag. Regarding this new missile deployment, there is very little reliable information. German media report that the exact location of the weapon systems is unknown, but some data can be found in available American documents, professional, and other journals. For example, the British tabloid The Sun published a simulation at the end of 2021 showing how the American supersonic missile Dark Eagle – launched from Wiesbaden – reaches Moscow in just 21 minutes and 30 seconds. These two cities are 2,000 kilometers apart. It is also stated that the missile would be ready for operations in 2023. Previously, the American portal Breaking Defense reported that the US Army officially reactivated the 56th Artillery Command in Europe, which was active from 1986 to 1991, and gave the green light for the deployment of modern precision weapons, including long-range (LRPF). What is the project about?A statement from the White House and the German government on Wednesday (July 10, 2024) stated that "the USA will temporarily station long-range weapon systems in Germany from its Multi-Domain Task Force, as part of a plan for their future permanent deployment." According to the US Congressional Research Service (CRS), the US Army is currently in the process of establishing and equipping 5 so-called Multi-Domain Task Forces (MDTF) worldwide. One of their main tasks is to provide long-range (ground-to-ground) artillery fire – in the form of missiles and cruise missiles. Additionally, the MDTF also has air defense capabilities. Three MDTFs are for the Pacific region, and one for Europe – which will be stationed in Germany, in Wiesbaden. The US Army announced this on April 13, 2021, and five months later, on September 16, 2021, that MDTF was activated at the US base in Wiesbaden (Lucius D. Clay Kaserne). The intention was to station only the headquarters and certain units there, while the essential operational elements (weapons) were to be deployed at Fort Drum in New York. However, it seems that the entire second MDTF will be relocated to Germany long-term. It should be operational by October 2025, except for the hypersonic weapon which should be ready by October 2026, according to the US Congressional Research Service (CRS). What kind of weapons are these?The US and German governments mentioned in the statement that "when fully developed, conventional units will include SM-6, Tomahawks, and hypersonic weapons currently under development." Tomahawk is a large cruise missile that has been used for decades and is continually being developed further. It is standard weaponry for the US and Britain in every military conflict against ground targets and increasingly takes on the tasks of manned bombers. Tomahawk was the first cruise missile to fly low and thus was largely undetectable by radar. Developed in the 1970s, it was first used in large numbers in 1991 when 297 Tomahawks were fired at Iraq. Over 800 were launched during the invasion of Iraq in 2003, and they were also used in Afghanistan, Somalia, Libya, Syria, and currently against Houthi positions in Yemen. In September 1995, 13 Tomahawks were fired at positions of the Bosnian Serb Army near Banja Luka. And in 1999, 218 Tomahawks were fired at targets in Serbia from American warships and another 20 from a British submarine. Tomahawk is now produced by the American company Raytheon (RTX), costs around 1.5 million dollars per unit, and has a range of up to 2,500 kilometers. It can stay in the air for hours and change course or target multiple times. The Standard Missile-6 (SM-6) cruise missile represents three missiles in one. It is the only missile that combines air defense, land defense, and missile defense at sea. It can intercept anti-ship missiles at very high altitudes or ballistic missiles in their terminal phase – just seconds before they reach their target. It has a dual target seeker that can detect enemy missiles on land – even behind mountains. In cooperation with reconnaissance aircraft, it can also be used "over the horizon," i.e., beyond the radar horizon of ships. The latest variant of the SM-6 is also said to have the capability to intercept hypersonic projectiles. It reaches a speed of 1.2 km per second and has a range of up to 500 km. SM-6 has been produced by Raytheon (RTX) since 2013. One missile costs 4.3 million dollars, according to data from 2022. Besides the US and British navies, it is also used by Australia, Japan, and South Korea. The most modern weapon in the arsenal of the Multi-Domain Task Force will be the mentioned hypersonic missile Dark Eagle, being developed by Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman. It can be launched from a truck, like the Patriot. It was supposed to be ready in 2023, but there were some issues. It is estimated to cost around 40 million dollars per unit. The US decided to develop a hypersonic missile 20 years ago, when the US President was Republican George Bush. It is evidently planned for the Dark Eagle to be stationed in Germany, in Wiesbaden, in about two years. It should have a range of about 2,700 kilometers, according to DW . Like our content?
