Tender "Donau" kommt zurück nach Kiel Am 12. Juli 2024 wird Tender "Donau" in seinem Heimathafen Kiel zurückerwartet.

Today, on 11 July 2024, the Naval Special Forces Command is celebrating its sixtieth anniversary. With a roll call and a dynamic demonstration in the presence of the President of the Schleswig-Holstein State Parliament, Kristina Herbst, the Minister President of Schleswig-Holstein, Daniel Günther, as well as numerous guests from society, politics and the military, the combat swimmers will face the public, which does not happen that often.

The combat swimmers evolved from small combat units and the naval task forces of the Second World War. The training was modelled on French elite units. In August 1959, the...

The US Navy is introducing a new class of hospital ship. The new units are smaller, faster and more manoeuvrable than the previous US hospital ships. In December 2023, the US Navy awarded Austal the contract for the construction of three hospital ships of the new Bethesda class. The new ships are also known as Expeditionary Medical Ships (EMS). These are the first new hospital ships since the introduction of the two Mercy-class units in the mid-1980s. The Bethesda class will complement the much larger USNS Mercy and USNS Comfort ships for the time being, but will eventually replace them.

Marineforum führte ein Interview mit Flottillenadmiral Axel Schulz, dem Kommandeur Einsatzflottille 2, gleichzeitig CTG 500.01 und damit Kommandeur des Einsatzverbandes Indo-Pazifik der Deutschen Marine. Das IPD24 der Marine, Pacific Waves 24, hat ein erstes Drittel hinter sich. Mit Beginn RIMPAC tritt das Vorhaben in einen anderen, operativ fordernderen Abschnitt. Wie beurteilen Sie die bisherige Reise? Ich sage nur: „Once in a Lifetime“! Eine großartige Unternehmung. Und ich bin stolz und glücklich, diesen Verband führen zu dürfen. Ich möchte ein Aneinanderreihen von Superlativen vermeiden, aber die Gastfreundschaft in Halifax war wie immer outstanding, und die Gelegenheit, in der Paradeaufstellung zur...

Rügen: Grünes Licht für Gas-Pipeline – Gericht weist Klagen ab

Rügen: Green light for gas pipeline - court rejects lawsuits

The Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig has dismissed several appeals by Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) and the Nature and Biodiversity Conservation Union (NABU) against the operating licence for the gas pipeline between the port of Mukran and Lubmin. This means that the approximately 50-kilometre-long gas pipeline operated by Gascade, which connects the LNG terminal in Sassnitz-Mukran to the gas pipeline network in Lubmin to the east of Greifswald, is expected to go into operation as planned in mid-May. Specifically, the environmental organisations wanted the planning approval decision issued by the Stralsund Mining Authority last year to be revoked. They had criticised the pipeline on two points in particular: firstly, nature conservation concerns in the sensitive ecosystem of the Greifswald Bodden were not taken into...
