Bundeswehr to become "fit for war"
For decades, wars were merely a distant memory for Germans. However, with the turn of the century, a taboo is being shaken. Defence Minister Boris Pistorius wants a "war-ready Bundeswehr, which is to be able to defend itself in all areas and be resilient and ready to fight". This applies to both equipment and personnel: "The yardstick for this is readiness for combat at all times with the claim to success in high-intensity combat." He is thus touching on a taboo in politics and society - both are predominantly pacifist. The Bundeswehr Access marineforum digital+ Are you already a registered user?

The convoy commodore still exists!
Are convoys across the Atlantic to supply Europe a thing of the past? An interview with Frigate Captain Steffen Lange, Head of the Naval Shipping Management Department. It is a good tradition that the day of the Maritime Convention is also the day on which the Naval Command's annual report is published. To be more precise: "Facts and Figures on the Maritime Dependency of the Federal Republic of Germany". And it fits in very well with the aim of the German Maritime Institute not only to conjure up Germany's maritime side, but also to prove it.

Nuclear submarines: USA and Australia strengthen co-operation
The Australian Navy is not due to receive nuclear-powered submarines until the 2030s. However, the training of the first soldiers is already underway. As part of the Aukus (Australia, United Kingdom, United States) agreement agreed in 2021, Australia is to acquire nuclear-powered fighter submarines with the help of the USA and the UK. The first boat is to be handed over to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN) at the end of the 2030s. To bridge this waiting period, Washington wants to sell VIRGINIA-class fighter submarines to Australia at the beginning of the next decade.

Tanks under water
Working at great depths requires long decompression times - or inflexible armoured diving suits. A new system provides new mobility under water. The US Navy is currently trialling a newly designed deep diving suit, the "Deep Sea Expeditionary with No Decompression" (Dsend) system. The atmospheric diving suit should enable the user to reach great diving depths relatively quickly, carry out longer missions and resurface without lengthy decompression. Compared to the armoured diving suits currently in use, the hardened but lightweight atmospheric diving suit, which is equipped with rotating, removable joints, should also help the diver to achieve greater mobility, dexterity and flexibility under water.
