The return journey will take the ship and crew back to Kiel via Ireland. A good 250 naval officer candidates from Crew 2022 will gain their first experience on board the tall ship during three voyages as part of their \"basic seamanship training\". Among them are cadets from Korea, Colombia, Malaysia, France, Togo, Cameroon, Benin and Senegal. On board the sail training ship, they learn the basic nautical skills and experience the importance of teamwork and camaraderie in practice. They then move on to the academic part of their training at the Bundeswehr universities in Hamburg and Munich.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #303c49;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">\"I hope that, in addition to the formal training objectives, we create a positive experience of seafaring. It would be nice if everyone took away the experience that seafaring and the camaraderie experienced can be a lot of fun. If we succeed in this and if everyone returns home safe and sound, then it will have been a happy voyage,\" says the commander.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #303c49;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The white barque is expected back on 7 July 2023, which means that the \"Gorch Fock\" will not be moored at her original berth, the Gorch Fock pier, for Kiel Week 2023.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #303c49;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Background information<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #303c49;\"><span style=\"font-family: Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Since its commissioning in December 1958, around 15,000 officer and non-commissioned officer candidates have been trained on the planks of the \"Gorch Fock\".
