Naval vessels as a strategic means of communication

Naval vessels as a strategic means of communication

After the Indo-Pacific deployment of the frigate BAYERN, the desire for a further presence far from home has fallen asleep again for the time being. China and Russia, on the other hand, are stepping up their commitment in this direction. The oceans on which navies operate not only divide. They also connect - without the lines of communication at sea, globalisation would not have been possible. Co-operation between navies manifests the relationship between nations. Joint exercises can be an expression of like-mindedness and even partnership. The presence of naval units conveys messages. Sometimes subtle, sometimes very provocative - in the best sense of the word. In terms of political science, the navy is more than just an object of research. With the...

The Russian war of aggression against Ukraine is having a serious impact on the German Navy. However, the return to national and alliance defence opens up a wide range of opportunities. The German Navy is facing a fundamental change of course with the new era and the 2035+ vision. It should be assertive and well positioned for future challenges. But how should our navy actually be "rigged" for this? And more importantly, how could the German Navy avoid the stovepiping described by Heinz Schulte in the April issue of marineforum and "splice" itself into the future of the Bundeswehr in a meaningful way? The following is an attempt to make a contribution to the practical design of the 2035+ target picture.

Germany is more dependent on safe sea routes than almost any other nation. The navy and shipping companies work together to ensure the reliable flow of goods across the sea. "A good Navy is not a provocation to war. It is the surest guaranty of peace." These famous words, spoken by US President Theodore Roosevelt to the US Congress on 2 December 1902, could not be more relevant today. Peace is the basic prerequisite for our current and future prosperity. In order to guarantee this permanently and sustainably, we need freedom and security, which in turn are guaranteed by a wide variety of players. When it comes to the maritime dimension of German security,...

Creating up-to-date content for marineforum.online is sometimes not that easy. The ELB BUREAUX brings the content online. Hamburg in the rain. Harbour district, the Elbphilharmonie concert hall squeezed into the skyline. No doorbell sign, no inviting neon sign. The path leads into the backyard of an old canal house, where hustle and bustle prevails in modern, glass-fronted offices. Behind the marineforum's digital presence is a team of six led by Art Director Hakan Savasogan and Account Director Michaela Veers. Both have travelled together from Schleswig-Holstein via Lower Saxony to what is now Elb Bureaux in Hamburg. Six colleagues and three other external employees are part of the team and realise creative projects or the presence of marineforum on social platforms.

With the 2035+ target vision, the Navy is presenting its vision of a long-term organisation. Not all projects will be realised - for various reasons. The navy's hopes for one or two, often long overdue, modernisations were pinned on the special assets of the Bundeswehr. However, the expectations of the smallest branch of the armed forces were muted enough. Most wearers of the blue scarf did not assume that the number of flagstaffs would increase significantly or that the capability potential would change significantly as a result of the Bundeswehr Special Fund. With the publication of a target picture for the navy from 2035, the inspector of the navy is now...
