The MEKO family of warships was developed by the German company Blohm + Voss. MEKO is a registered trademark. The portmanteau stands for "Mehrzweck-Kombination" (English: multi-purpose-combination). It is a concept in modern naval shipbuilding based on modularity of armament, electronics and other equipment, aiming at ease of maintenance and cost reduction. MEKO ships include families of frigates, corvettes and ocean-going patrol boats. Construction of MEKO ships began in the late seventies with the design and later building of Nigeria's MEKO 360 H1. Vessels of similar classes use different weapons systems. For example, for the main gun, some MEKO 200s use the Mk 45 Mod 2 gun, others use the French 100 mm naval gun or Otobreda 76 mm gun.

The latest variant is the "Combat Ship for the Littorals" or MEKO CSL. There was speculation that this design would be of interest to Israel,  but it was not. It has also been called a "Littoral Combatant Ship", but it is much smaller than the American Littoral combat ship.

Frigates
Running the gamut from 3,600 tons to 7,200 tons, the German Meko Frigates are designed to complement each other. The small Brandenburg class is primarily an anti-submarine platform that has secondary Anti-Aircraft duties. The middle Sachsen is an Anti-Aircraft frigate with capital ship class air defense radar, with 32 VLS cells equipped with SM-2 IIIA missiles and ESSM Quad Packs, as well as tomahawk cruise missiles, harpoon anti-ship missiles, Torpedo launchers, and a 76mm cannon. The large Baden-Württemberg class is primarily a stealthy land attack ship. It has a 127mm gun that fires precision guided shells, anti-ship missiles, and point defense anti-air missiles.

List of Vessels
1Construction of the first of seven planned corvettes began in 2001, the program was terminated in 2012 after years of insufficient funding. A single existing Gawron (or ORP Ślązak) hull will be completed without fire-control system, RBS-15 Mk 3 and anti-air missiles as heavy patrol vessel at estimated total cost 150 million euro, instead of 350 million.
