Research vessel instead of naval forces

Research vessel instead of naval forces

Gepostet von | 27 Sep 2024 | , , , , | 0

On Tuesday, 1 October 2024, the research vessel "Planet" departs for the NATO support mission in the Aegean Sea. With the adoption of the new NATO force organisation (NATO Force Model) on 1 July 2024, the demands on the German Navy as part of the NATO defence forces have increased significantly. The combat and support units previously entrusted with the task are therefore required to do more than before. In order to increase the German Navy's room for manoeuvre, it was decided to replace the German Navy's military forces with civilian units suitable for the tasks. The research vessel "Planet", with its capabilities in the area of sea endurance, the large amount of space available and the necessary telecommunications...

The NH 90 takes over

The NH 90 takes over

Gepostet von | 26 Sep 2024 | , , | 0

The Navy is introducing two versions of the NH 90. This will replace the Sea King, which has proven its worth for decades, in Naval Air Wing 5 in the short term and the Sea Lynx on-board helicopter in the medium term. The recent operational readiness of the NH 90 Sea Lion marks the beginning of a new era at Marinefliegergeschwader 5 (MFG 5). With this modern, high-performance helicopter, the old Sea King Mk 41 and soon also the Sea Lynx Mk 88A will be sent into retirement. Despite a number of start-up problems and technical hurdles, one thing is certain: by 2029 at the latest, the naval aviators with the NH 90 should be able to make their full contribution to a war-fighting...

US Navy - New construction frigate "Constellation"

US Navy - New construction frigate "Constellation"

After the less successful designs of the Zumwalt destroyers and the Littoral Combat Ships, the US Navy has high hopes for the basic design of the CONSTELLATION, which originated in Europe. As a frigate, it is now set to become a reliable workhorse again, as the Arleigh Burke class currently is among the destroyers. Smaller than the destroyers, however, the CONSTELLATION is intended to be a multi-purpose frigate that...
