On the sidelines of the Maritime Convention, its commander, Rear Admiral Sean Wat, answered questions from marineforum about tensions in the region and the German Navy's involvement.

Commentary ... is more than stringing individual pearls on a string. This was on our minds as we tried to put things in order with regard to the German Navy and the upcoming challenges (international situation, development of the defence budget and recruitment).

Naval officers and guests met for the 63rd time at the Historical Tactical Conference. Host Vice Admiral Lenski came up with a few innovations and surprises. There was snow in Linstow, but otherwise the Naval Historical and Tactical Conference (HiTaTa) began as usual: with long queues in front of the reception, which the attendees happily and warmly used as an opportunity to greet each other. And who came? The "who's who" of the German Navy of course, the double-gold oak leaves almost complete, illustrious guests and traditionally the representatives of the institutions that accompany and support the Navy, including - for 50 years, by the way - the marineforum.
