Germany: Replenishment Ship "Rhein A 513 "

The Elbe-class replenishment ships are also known "Tenders" of the German Navy. In German, this type of ship is called Versorgungsschiff which can be translated as "supply ship" though the official translation in English is "replenishment ship". The blue cachet depicting the ship with a text references "Tag der Bundeswehr 2024" (Day of the German Armed Forces 2024), held at the Naval Base in Rostock-Warnemünde in 2024. The rectangular stamp at the top reads "Befördert mit FELDPOST" (Transported with Field Post) indicates that this cover was sent through the military postal service.

Stamp:

The 75th Anniversary of the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany - Issued: 02-05-2024
