Evaluate the composition of components and assemblies responsible for movement and manoeuvrability. Evaluate the survivability of the primary and secondary armaments separately. Don't forget to mention the size of the crew, which plays an important role in fleet mechanics. Save tips on preserving survivability for the "Usage in battles" section. If necessary, use a graphical template to show the most well-protected or most vulnerable points in the armour.

History
Lübeck was one of six Köln-class frigates constructed by the Blohm & Voss company and represented one of the first warships built for the German navy in the years following WWII. Lübeck and her sister ships were designed to counter enemy escort ships as well as submarines and were well-equipped to perform these tasks.
Lübeck was commissioned in June of 1963 as the fifth Köln-class frigate to enter service. The ship continued service until December 1988 after she was decommissioned and sold to Turkey for scrapping.
