reported the Commodore of MFG 5, Captain Carsten Holtgreve, to the Commander of the Naval Aviation Command, Captain Broder Nielsen. Prior to this, the squadron commander, frigate captain Thomas Richter, had signed off the last two helicopters after they had landed. The members of the entire squadron were on board the 89 + 63, which has now become a cult retro livery, and the 89 + 58, which was painted in a special livery. Together, they had prepared the last Kings' with dignity and recognisable melancholy for their last outing, showed what they could do once again and then touched down for the last time. The hovering time beforehand was very long so that all the photographers...

Aircraft carrier supplied!

What a day at sea for the German Navy! The task force supply ship "Frankfurt am Main" supplied the Italian Navy's aircraft carrier "Cavour" with fuel. It was spectacular, as the navy announced on "X". The RAS (Replenishment at Sea) was a perfect symphony of German precision and Italian flair in the Pacific, they reported with pride. For the Indo-Pacific task force, the journey continues after the port call in Tokyo. There was no further information about the reason for the pit stop in Yokusuka, the base of the JPN Navy and 7th US Fleet. Participation in the NOBLE RAVEN manoeuvre is now on the...

Interview with the commander of the frigate HESSEN by Holger Schlüter. There are many questions following the end of the explosive deployment of the frigate HESSEN in the Red Sea. Not all of them can be answered by the ship's commander, frigate captain Volker Kübsch, and after all, military security also demands secrecy. The German public must accept that there are limits to transparency, even for their own safety. The findings are now being extensively analysed, both technically, tactically and in terms of personnel. The man most in demand during the operation was nevertheless available to marineforum. Mr Kübsch, our deep respect for you and your crew! How many interviews have you already given...

Tender "Werra" to the NATO organisation

Tender "Werra" has left its home port of Kiel. Over the next six months, the tender, which is part of the support squadron, will provide the German contribution to one of NATO's permanent formations, the Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group 1 (SNMCMG 1), for the North and Baltic Seas. The "Werra" will thus replace the tender "Donau", which returned home at the beginning of July, by the end of the year. For Corvette Captain Marina Diebelt (34), it is the first major voyage in her role as commander of the "Werra": "It is always a great pleasure to be able to sail in a convoy. The international co-operation is in many respects...
