Australia opens competition for world's largest non-nuclear submarine project - Since the Australian Department of Defence published its "Strategic Direction of the Future Submarine Programme" on 20 February this year, it has been clear that France, Germany and Japan are potential partners in the SEA 1000 project, i.e. the development and procurement of up to 12 new submarines for the Royal Australian Navy (RAN).

The end of an era has begun - on 28 March 2014, the frigate BREMEN said "Lower flag and pennant!" At around 11.00 a.m., the decommissioning of the Class 122 frigate was completed. Since then, she has been berthed in the construction harbour of the Wilhelmshaven naval arsenal and serves as a spare parts carrier for her sister ships, which continue to fulfil their operational tasks with their crews. The frigate BREMEN is in good company at her berth in the naval arsenal. Two years earlier, the frigate KÖLN was decommissioned there with effect from 31 March 2012, followed by the frigate RHEINLAND-PFALZ on 22 March 2013 and the frigate...

Capability gain or expansion of existing capabilities in the execution of submarine operations The U212A 1st batch submarines have now been in service for over ten years and are still the most modern conventional submarines in the world. Air independent propulsion (AIP), impressive sensor technology, a high degree of automation and extensive integration of the command and weapon deployment system (FüWeS) are the key characteristics of this type of submarine. Its long endurance at sea allows it to operate largely autonomously and remotely, and with the DM2A4 heavyweight torpedo, the submarine is equipped with one of the most modern weapons against surface and underwater targets currently available on the global market. In addition to these...
