At the Apra Harbor naval base, she was informed about the USS <span style=\"font-variant: small-caps;\">Charleston<\/span> a Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) of the US Navy. She also took the opportunity to talk to soldiers.<br \/>\nKramp-Karrenbauer is currently on a trip to Asia, which has already taken her to South Korea. While this could be one of the last major business trips for the minister, it was a first for the Airbus A 350, which has been available to the air force since January: the first long-haul delegation flight.<br \/>\nGuam is an important outpost for the US Navy and Air Force. The island in the Western Pacific became famous through a battle in the Second World War and the Andersen Air Force Base, where American long-range bombers are stationed. Due to its strategic location, the base is one of the most important US bases in the world.<br \/>\nApra Harbor is used as a deep-water harbour for both commercial and military purposes. American Navy fighter submarines are stationed here. The harbour can be accessed by all Navy ships, including aircraft carriers.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11106\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11106\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11106\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-2-mfo.jpg\" alt=\"In conversation with US soldiers\" width=\"1500\" height=\"743\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-2-mfo.jpg 1500w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-2-mfo-300x149.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-2-mfo-1024x507.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-2-mfo-768x380.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-2-mfo-1080x535.jpg 1080w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-2-mfo-750x372.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-2-mfo-1140x565.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11106\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In conversation with US soldiers<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_11107\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11107\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11107\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-3-mfo.jpg\" alt=\"A 350 of the air force\" width=\"1500\" height=\"743\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-3-mfo.jpg 1500w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-3-mfo-300x149.jpg 300w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-3-mfo-1024x507.jpg 1024w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-3-mfo-768x380.jpg 768w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-3-mfo-1080x535.jpg 1080w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-3-mfo-750x372.jpg 750w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/21-05-31-AKK-3-mfo-1140x565.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-11107\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A 350 of the air force<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Text: mb; Photos: US Navy, German Air Force<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Verteidigungsministerin Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer hat am vergangenen Wochenende die US-Insel Guam besucht.
