Underwater cables are one of the lifelines of the global economy. Time and again, dubious incidents occur on the seabed. Pipelines on the seabed have recently been in the news. But what about the other underwater infrastructure, the telecommunications, supply and energy cables, here and in the hot spots of the earth? In 1858, the first transatlantic submarine cable was put into operation between the USA and Europe. Since then, 600 submarine communication cables have been laid worldwide, totalling four million kilometres in length, through which, among other things, 97 percent of all Internet data is transported. Compared to these fixed connections, communication via satellite is around fifteen times more expensive. Underwater cables...

250 marks for training

Gepostet von | 21 Oct 2024 | , , | 0

Numerous training ships were built at the beginning of the 20th century to ensure the qualified training of young seamen in Germany. Even today, the German Training Ship Association is responsible for maintaining one such full-rigged ship. The founding of the German Training Ship Association on 12 January 1900 in the Hotel Continental in Berlin reflects the great economic and political importance that merchant shipping had achieved in the Wilhelmine Empire. The 227 founding members represented the top echelons of the German economy as well as the maritime-orientated aristocracy. Members of the Siemens, Borsig, Underberg, Guilleaume, Boveri, Hoesch and Faber-Castell families were among them, as well as representatives of the imperial Hohenzollern family, the...

If you want to survive in battle today, you have to be able to exchange information in real time - even with units from other nations. A disruptive approach is now being developed for a continuously updated command and control capability for the navy. With the German Mission Network (GMN) programme, the existing command information systems of the armed forces are being harmonised, service-oriented and transferred to a common platform. This enables the capability for national and multinational mission and operational command. With GMN Seegehend, the implementation for the maritime dimension and the development of the Bundeswehr's joint, cross-command level, nationally and multinationally interoperable information and communication network on the Navy's ships and boats is taking place. This means that information from the German,...

China: First voyages of the third aircraft carrier

At the end of June, the South China Morning Post reported that China claimed to have the world's largest conventional aircraft carrier, the "Fujian". The privately owned (Alibaba), but in China recognised for its narrow degree of freedom to publish factually, referred in particular to the electromagnetic catapult: something had been achieved with this technology on a conventionally powered ship that was not considered feasible. The US Navy can also demonstrably achieve this with the Ford class, but its energy systems are known to be nuclear-powered and can therefore generate sufficient electricity. The "Fujian" is China's third aircraft carrier and the first to be built after...
