Gepostet von | 1 Oct 2021 | , | 1

Tirpitzhafen is now called Kiel naval base. The southern outer pier will be called Gorch-Fock-Mole and the outer pier will become Oskar-Kusch-Mole. The background to this new naming has already been discussed here in marineforum.online - now it is official and will be implemented. Based on the Bundeswehr's 2017 decree on tradition, it has been instructed that in future only the Bundeswehr's own 65-year history will apply to the line of tradition. In addition, places and people from the resistance against terror and tyranny are also included.

With the handover of the GORCH FOCK to the German Navy, Lürssen has successfully completed the refurbishment of the sail training ship after around two years in the shipyard. The Bremen-based family business took over the project in October 2019 and overhauled the ship on the basis of a comprehensively re-evaluated performance specification. "Every ship handover is characterised by emotions and, above all, fills the employees who accompany a project for months and contribute to its success with pride. All the more so when it is a project with numerous technical challenges, difficult framework conditions and an ambitious schedule, as in the case of the GORCH FOCK," says Tim Wagner, Managing Director...
