Oste (A 52) is a fleet service ship of the Germany Navy in the Oste-class.[3] It is named after the river Oste which flows throughout northern Lower Saxony.
In 2021, it was approved by the Bundestag, that three new ships would be contracted by Lürssen to be in service by 2027, replacing the class 423.[4][5]
