Flotilla Admiral Wilhelm Tobias Abry hands over the reins of the MSM to Flotilla Admiral Jens Nemeyer. The handover will be carried out by Rear Admiral Christoph Müller-Meinhardt, Commander Support in Naval Command.

Even though Flotilla Admiral Abry's time at the helm of the Naval Academy was shaped by the pandemic, he was able to sustainably strengthen training at sea and shape the maritime identity of the cadets - in short: colour the hearts of all officers and officer cadets blue. Abry is leaving the Officer School after more than three years and is now moving to the Naval Command in Rostock as Head of the Operations Subdivision.

Flotilla Admiral Nemeyer joined the Navy in 1984 at the Naval Academy and subsequently completed his training as a helicopter pilot with the Royal Navy. He was squadron commander and commodore of Naval Air Wing 5 in Kiel. He has operational experience in several national and international staffs. For the last two years, he was responsible for the personnel management of officers as head of department.
