For the upcoming weekend, the editors of the marineforums A look outside the box. Colleague Thomas Wiegold from the blog Augengeradeaus took a closer look in the 40th episode of his podcast "Sicherheitshalber" at https://sicherheitspod.de/2021/02/21/folge-40-flugzeugtrager-braucht-man-sowas-noch-deutschland-im-un-sicherheitsrat-eine-bilanz/ugträger: Do we still need this? | Germany in the UN Security Council: A review - Sicherheitshalber (sicherheitspod.de) dedicated to a maritime topic. Together with Dr Ulrike Franke from the European Council on Foreign Relations and Dr Frank Sauer and Prof Carlo Masala from the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich, he discusses aspects of the topic of aircraft carriers. Do such costly giants still make sense in the 21st century? What threats is such a ship exposed to? And will there be a German or even European aircraft carrier in the future? These and other aspects are explored in the first part of the podcast.
