Naval aviators on course for the future

Capability gaps must be closed soon The naval aviators are currently in a comprehensive renewal and modernisation phase of their airborne naval warfare assets. In doing so, they are maintaining and strengthening the navy's indispensable ability to conduct naval warfare from the air. This applies in particular to the renewal of the helicopter fleet. However, with the planned decommissioning of its eight P-3C Orion maritime patrol aircraft by 2025, the naval aviators and thus the navy are threatened with a serious loss of capability in the areas of maritime reconnaissance, maritime surveillance and airborne submarine hunting.

New start in Neustadt

The Naval Re-employment Centre (ZWE Mar) at the Neustadt in Holstein site is a sub-unit of the Naval NCO School.
