The Seapower Sympolium has now become a permanent fixture in Kiel. This time, the focus was on the influence of the new era on international maritime security policy. On 15 June, almost one hundred international experts from science, the military and politics came together in Kiel for the Kiel International Seapower Symposium (KISS). KISS has been organised in its current form by the Institute for Security Policy at Kiel University (ISPK) for seven years and has developed into the leading maritime security policy conference in continental Europe. This year, the Konrad Adenauer Foundation has once again been won as a partner. Access marineforum digital+ Are you already a registered user?...

Meanwhile, the majority of the participants who are younger in life and rank seem to follow Bernard Wicki's lesson, according to which, as in the cinema, it may be flickering at the front, but the best seats are at the back. And indeed, many a speaker on the podium will find themselves confronted or even trumped by the memories of contemporary witnesses, especially when these are presented with the verve of a knowledgeable expert and in the style of the highest seniority.

Iran supplies missile speedboats to Venezuela

Venezuela - Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro's close relations with the Iranian rulers are bearing fruit: although they are small, the two PEYKAAP III missile speedboats are not entirely without bite. One visit from the Iranian naval grouping circumnavigating the western world at the beginning of the year, and Venezuela already has the destabilising pinprick platforms with sea target FC, which were presented to the public as GOLETA EMPRENDEDORA and GOLETA INDEPENDENCIA at the end of July to mark the 200th anniversary of the Armada Bolivariana de Venezuela. They are 17 metres long and, at 14 tonnes, are real lightweights. Their two sea targets, FK Kowsar or Nasr, fly at subsonic speed and have a maximum...

USA - The future JACK H. LUCAS, America's newest ARLEIGH-BURKE class destroyer, completed its acceptance trials before the Board of Inspection and Survey at the end of May. The LUCAS is the first unit of the third batch of this ship class, which has been built for 35 years. It has been repeatedly equipped with the latest systems and is at the cutting edge of technology. The centrepiece of Flight III is the AN/SPY-6 air surveillance and air defence radar, in addition to improvements to the power generation and cooling systems. DDG 125 will be commissioned shortly, and the next four destroyers are already awaiting commissioning at Huntington Ingalls Industries in Newport News, Virginia.
