Capabilities and importance of the German Navy

Recently, it has become fashionable to criticise European navies, especially the German Navy. Critics argue, among other things, that European NATO members are completely dependent on the United States for their maritime security and naval command in the alliance. The German Navy is labelled a "Green Water Navy". It is also claimed that the German Navy is subject to severe "limitations", does not contribute sufficiently to alliance defence and is not doing enough to rectify this situation in the face of the threat posed by Russia.
