Gorch Fock 38th training voyage 1971 Lisbon-Kiel Even half a century ago, photographs were taken of the training voyages of the "Gorch Fock" - albeit in a decidedly "analogue" style.

Unfortunately, as a professional soldier, I gradually lost the time for photography as my service became more and more serious.

Seit sechs Monaten – also während der gesamten Zeitspanne des laufenden Angriffskrieges Russlands gegen die Ukraine – befand sich HMS Audacious, Großbritanniens jüngstes einsatzfähiges Hunter-Killer Atom-U-Boot im Mittelmeer auf Patrouillenfahrt. Während oben die NATO-Überwassereinheiten im Rahmen der Operation Sea Guardian den Schiffsverkehr überwachten - und dabei vornehmlich ein Auge auf die sich dort zu Kriegsbeginn versammelten und noch aufhaltenden Einheiten der russischen Marine hatten, kümmerte sich HMS Audacious um entsprechende Fahrzeuge unter Wasser.
