Vice Admiral Jan C. Kaack becomes Inspector of the Navy

It was obviously not easy for the management at the BMVg to make a quick decision. The few options for the succession decision were available very early on. Now we know and are happy for him. Jan C. Kaack, who was promoted to Vice Admiral yesterday, is to become the new Inspector of the Navy. He had already been in temporary charge of the navy after his predecessor Schönbach offered his resignation following controversial political statements. Vice Admiral Kaack is taking over the post at a challenging time, but with a navy that can provide NATO with "highly trained ships and highly motivated crews", as he said in an interview a few days ago. Officially, this is due to take place in the second week of March. The editorial team of the marine forum and marineforum.online wishes you all the best and good luck!
