Turning point at sea

The world is on the move: Climate change, upheavals between nations and new technologies are among the challenges facing modern navies. This makes it all the more important to adapt their capabilities quickly.
 

In times of multiple crises, the world is changing and with it the strategic environment. This also applies to naval forces, which are developing rapidly around the globe. Local wars are taking place, regional ones are conceivable. The Cold War is back with new centres of gravity in Eastern Europe and the Indo-Pacific region. Starting positions for future conflicts are being established in the Arctic, Antarctic and outer space. It is often about maritime borders, raw materials and fishing, pipelines and traffic rights, about intimidating neighbours or destabilising them. Maritime power politics is back.
