Im Jahr des 175. Marinegeburtstags begeht das Deutsche Maritime Institut sein 50. Jubiläum. Es wurde 1973 als Deutsches Marineinstitut gegründet. Seinerzeit vermissten engagierte Marineoffiziere unter ihrem Spiritus Rector, Flottillenadmiral Alfred „Munki“ Schumann, eine angemessene Berücksichtigung der Marine in den Diskussionen über die Bundeswehr.
