For some years now, Turkey has been focussing on developing its own weapons systems. This also supports the defence industry's export successes. Turkey is systematically expanding its global presence with the help of a flourishing defence industry. With over 250 embassies and consulates, the country is even ahead of Germany, which only has 226 missions abroad. Only the USA, China and France have more. This global network supports Turkey's military, economic and cultural presence on all continents, but particularly in Africa. There alone, Turkey is represented in 46 of the 54 states, having declared the continent a strategic partner. In February...

So now it has sailed, the navy's Indo-Pacific convoy. There is a lot to read about it, about the two ships, the crews, the military-political significance of the voyage and the security policy context in South-East Asia. Once around the globe! But before the convoy reached the Pacific Ocean and, much later, the Indian Ocean, it steered a westerly course through the Atlantic Ocean for three weeks.

Until the Second World War, the Museum of Oceanography built up an important collection of maritime exhibits. But war damage and the subsequent confiscation destroyed Kaiser Wilhelm II's dream. Yes, there really was such a thing - a museum of oceanography in the centre of Berlin, founded by the shipping enthusiast Kaiser Wilhelm II and at the time a must-see for every patriotic German.

It was opened on 5 March 1906 in the rooms of the Chemical Institute in...
