Two plus X?

In the presence of Minister of Defence Boris Pistorius, TKMS has started building the new submarine class 212CD. The navy is already hoping for a follow-up. When the contract for the U 212CD project was signed on 8 July 2021, the Navy was still cautious: construction of the first submarine of the new class could begin in 2023.

Future with question marks

The Seapower Sympolium has now become a permanent fixture in Kiel. This time, the focus was on the influence of the new era on international maritime security policy.

Size counts

India sees itself as an up-and-coming nation and is becoming increasingly self-confident. This is also reflected in the country's maritime ambitions. India, a nuclear power, is single-mindedly expanding its navy. In addition to destroyers, frigates, corvettes and submarines, the armament and modernisation programme also includes aircraft carriers and strategic submarines.
