Urgently needed spare parts are difficult to procure, especially at sea. 3D printers are now set to provide a remedy. 3D printing has been offering the industry a wide range of options for additive manufacturing of spare parts for several years now. German allies such as the USA, Norway, the UK and the Netherlands are also utilising this innovative technology to increase the level of technical clarity in their armed forces. The Bundeswehr intensified its activities in the field of additive manufacturing with the establishment of the 3D printing centre in 2017 at the Wehrwissenschaftliches Institut für Werk- und Betriebsstoffe (WIWeB) in Erding. The aim was to establish a central point of contact for the further development of the new technology from this point onwards....

Remarkable piece of World War II history emerges in California's Lake Shasta A surprising - and mysterious - piece of World War II history has emerged from Lake Shasta as California's drought brings to light relics long submerged in water. Lake Shasta is located in northern California, around four hours' drive north of San Francisco. As the Shasta-Trinity National Forest announced on Sunday, a boat was found in the dried-up lake bed that had probably been hidden for decades. The marker "31-17" on the boat indicates that it is a boat from the USS Monrovia, a ship that served in World War II.

Few ships symbolise a maritime turning point as strikingly as HMS VANGUARD, which came too late for the Second World War and was no longer really needed in the post-war period. The Royal Navy ended the First World War with a sizeable fleet of capital ships, but was now in need of a fundamental qualitative renewal in order to be able to defend its leading position against new naval powers such as the USA and Japan in the long term.Procurement plans for new battleships and battlecruisers existed at the beginning of the 1920s, but were cancelled out by scarce financial resources, the abolished German threat and, above all, the Washington Naval Agreement of 1922. This meant that the now...

South Korea is continuing to work on an ocean-going fleet that can also be used for missions far from home. Aircraft carriers are also on the wish list. Since the 1950s, the South Korean navy has focussed on fending off the immediate threat from North Korea. This is currently changing. Seoul is systematically modernising and expanding its fleet. The aim is to create a fully-fledged ocean-going fleet that can also deal with challenges outside its immediate territorial area. On the one hand, this development reflects Seoul's desire to enhance the country's international reputation. In terms of gross domestic product, South Korea now has the tenth strongest economy in the world and the fourth strongest in Asia. A supra-regionally committed security policy brings the...
