The former 10,000-tonne general cargo freighter "MS Dresden" has served as a technical museum since 1970 and is located on the banks of the Warnow River right next to Rostock's IGA Park. Although the ship's engine room is well preserved, the engines have not been running for 50 years. Over the past five years, volunteers and technicians have successfully invested around 13,640 working hours in the repair of two diesel generators. In future, visitors will not only be able to view the e-diesels on the demonstration days, which the museum will announce in advance, but also hear and smell them; something very special for "stokers" - the smell of diesel and the smell of the engines...

On Monday, 16 September 2024, the minehunting vessel "Weilheim", which is part of the 3rd Minehunting Squadron, will leave its home port of Kiel.

For Corvette Captain Maximilian Hirnstein, this is the first major voyage in his role as commander of the "Weilheim". Until now, unfortunately, little has been known about the activities of the permanent mine defence unit SNMMCMG 1. It is important to remember that this is one of the four permanent maritime task forces of the German Navy.
