It had a weapons malfunction during a firing exercise near Plymouth, (Gost program): the shot did not got out of the gun barrel. when the crew started to examine and maintain the gun, the formerly stuck round suddenly came to live. If the problem lied within the round, or the gun, they do not say. The round hit the bow, near to where the anchor is placed. The vessel returned to Wilhelmshaven by own power. No injuries.

According to the English wikipedia entry, this (old) ship class is designed for ASW, but has no towed array. Strange.
