Der Signal zum Manöveranpfiff schrillt laut durch den Hafen kurz nachdem Auslauf- und Sicherheitsbriefing auf den Manöverstationen durchgeführt worden sind. Es wird ausgelaufen gemäß departure order. Nach dem Passieren der Molenköpfe signalisiert der Divisionsführer die erste Formationsänderung für die Kiellinie mit 14 Einheiten. Gleichzeitig schwitzen junge Marineoffiziere auf den Brücken Ihrer Einheiten, sie halten ihre Navigator´s Notebooks in den Händen und wenden bei dichtem Nebel ihre Kenntnisse im blind pilotage an. Andere junge Offiziere...

Key points for the future of the Bundeswehr Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer and Inspector General Eberhard Zorn have jointly drawn up a key points paper on the restructuring of the Bundeswehr. The aim is to streamline the organisation and structures of the armed forces, eliminate top-heaviness and diffusion of responsibility and make the Bundeswehr better equipped for national and alliance defence tasks.

All core mine defence capabilities are combined on the 332CL class boats. The refit is a good example of successful co-operation between the navy and industry. Following the introduction of ten Frankenthal-class (332A) minehunting boats and the conversion of ten Hameln-class boats into five Ensdorf-class (352) and five Kulmbach-class (333) boats, the German Navy has had three different systems for naval mine warfare since 2001. A fourth variant was introduced with the conversion of two Class 332A minehunting boats into pure Class 332B minehunter patrol boats. Access marineforum digital+ Are you already a registered user?

Only eight frigates and five supply vessels are currently available for operational duties in EF 2. Optimisation of exercise periods and virtual training help to train crews efficiently. With the reorganisation of Europe following the end of the East-West conflict, the German Navy and its partners were increasingly tasked with maintaining and re-establishing order at the external maritime borders of the European and Atlantic community of values as early as the beginning of the 1990s. The fight against international terrorism, the presence on the Levantine coast and finally the missions in connection with the consequences of the Arab Spring inevitably led to a significantly reduced fleet...
