"Moin and ahoy" is how the 1st Mayor of the City of Wilhelmshaven welcomes guests, "sight-seers" and sailors to the Wilhelmshaven Sailing CUP from 27 to 29 September 2024.

This oldest traditional sailing regatta on the German North Sea coast attracts thousands of "sight-seers" and sailing enthusiasts to Wilhelmshaven every year, as it stands for sport, entertainment, interesting encounters and maritime flair. This year, 14 fascinating ships will once again find their way across the Jade fairway to Wilhelmshaven, creating an impressive sight at Bontekai...

US Navy: Ballistic Missile Defence for Israel

During the massive Iranian attack on Israel on the night of 13 to 14 April 2024 with around 170 drones, 120 ballistic missiles and 30 cruise missiles, it was not only the Israeli Iron Dome air defence system that proved its effectiveness. Allies and neighbouring states have also intervened to support the fight.

Kiel-Wik naval base, middle of the last decade. Two flag officers, both former speedboat drivers and therefore at home in the Baltic Sea, one commander of the fleet, the other flotilla commander, stand in the staff building of Flotilla 1 and look out over the berths at the base. There are far too few boats to practise demanding scenarios on their own in addition to their ongoing duties. Too little capacity to organise complex, multi-dimensional training projects. Admittedly, this is not a fundamentally new...

This year's Baltops manoeuvre took place in the Baltic Sea in June. This was the first time that the German Navy led a naval unit with multinational participation as a Commander Task Force. After two intensive weeks, the 53rd edition of the Baltic Operations manoeuvre, Baltops for short, came to an end on 20 June. This is the most important and largest multinational maritime military exercise in the Baltic Sea region. This year's exercise was a prime example of the close military and security co-operation between Germany and its NATO allies. Under the leadership of the US Naval Forces Europe-Africa and the 6th Fleet of the US Navy, 20 nations demonstrated together with the new NATO members...
