The
Marine (German Navy) is the maritime force of the
Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces).
The German Navy is currently undergoing a transformation:
fewer but larger and more advanced warships, which
translates into a shift of focus from coastal and
shallow water warfare to deployements abroad and
blue water capabilities.
The German Navy has about 16,000 personnel, 60 vessels
of all types and 50 aircraft in the Marineflieger
(naval aviation branch).
