The island location has significantly influenced the character and thinking of the British. From the other side of the Channel, things look different. Ian Morris is regarded as a historian of the long lines. A good ten years ago, in his bestseller "Who rules the world?", he raised the fundamental question of why civilisations rule or are ruled. One of his answers was appropriate at the time, which was characterised by interventions by Western states that often intervened in regional conflicts in Africa, the Balkans, the Middle East and the Hindu Kush with the help of local forces. Back then, you could watch Morris ride through...

In marineforum 7/8-2022, Dieter Hanel traced the development of the Bundeswehr and navy in Kiel. In the second part, the author takes a look at the maritime industry in the state capital. With the rearmament of Germany and the formation of the Bundeswehr in 1955, the rebuilding of a German defence industry also began. On 16 March 1959, Kiel-based Howaldtswerke, which still had around 13,000 employees at the time, received an order from the Federal Office of Defence Technology and Procurement for the construction of twelve Class 201 submarines, based on the development results of the Lübeck engineering office. 12 December 1959 was the...

Rarely had a yacht from the Krupp Gemania shipyard in Kiel led such an adventurous life as the luxury yacht ARGOSY. It began as a luxury yacht, spanned four wars and ended as it had begun many years earlier. In 1931, in the midst of the global financial crisis of the 1930s, the Germania shipyard delivered the ARGOSY. While the New York Stock Exchange collapsed in 1929, huge fortunes evaporated and countries went bankrupt, the wealthy could still afford a brand new luxury yacht. For example, Charles A. Stone from the New York bank and brokerage firm Hayden-Stone. In 1935, one of the biggest names in the yachting world and industry bought the Cox &...

In future, sea mines are to be detected and identified in a fully automated process. Joint trials between WTD 71 and Atlas Elektronik demonstrate the potential. In September 2021, the Wehrtechnische Dienststelle für Schiffe und Marinewaffen, Maritime Technologie und Forschung (WTD 71) took part in the REP(MUS) trials (Robotic Experimentation and Prototyping Augmented by Maritime Unmanned Systems) off the Portuguese coast. As part of these trials, investigations were carried out in the areas of underwater communication and mine defence. The future of maritime naval warfare is increasingly based on unmanned systems that operate as autonomously as possible - both above and below water. Particular attention is being paid to...
