Ladies and gentlemen, dear members, you will still find the documents for the planned general meeting on 5 June 2021 in the yellow pages of the print edition of MarineForum 05-2021. Due to the pandemic situation, the Board of Directors has decided to postpone this in-person event rather than hold it.

Individual authors - from first lieutenants to admirals - provide us with an insight into the inner workings of our navy.
