Whether private or admiral, every soldier in the Navy's operational service has attended the Naval Operations School at some point in their career. A look at current training and future challenges.

The MOS has been operating under its current name since 1997 and has developed into a centre for...

Am 24.

Der Bundeskanzler sprach in diesem Zusammenhang auch von einer Zeitenwende. Was sind die militärischen Ableitungen daraus, was bedeutet das für die Bundeswehr und – ganz konkret – für die Ausbildung an der Marineoperationsschule?[ds_preview] Zunächst muss die Bundeswehr nun die richtigen Schritte einleiten, um das für sie ausgewiesene Sondervermögen von 100 Milliarden Euro sinnvoll zu verwenden, sprich: mit dem Ziel, einsatzbereite Streitkräfte aufzustellen, die wirken können.

How does a crew behave when an emergency ditching or a crash at sea is imminent? At the Naval Operations School, aircraft crews learn practical survival skills at sea. Ditching-ditching-ditching!" During a real flight, no aircrew would ever want to hear this over the intercom of their helicopter or aeroplane. Because it means that their flight will end in a few seconds in the cold, wet and unforgiving sea. In contrast, you hear this many times a day in the water training hall of the Inspektion Überleben auf See (ÜaS) of the Marine Operations School in Bremerhaven, also known as Sea Survival. Then the underwater exit trainer glides slowly, but nevertheless...

The LNG tanker "Arctic Voyager" arrived in Hammerfest, Norway, on 9 May before the liquefaction plant is due to resume LNG production the following week. Europe's only large natural gas liquefaction plant (LNG) on the island of Melkoeya off the Arctic city of Hammerfest is due to resume production on 17 May after a 20-month shutdown, according to operator Equinor. The plant, which can process 18 million cubic metres of gas per day, has been out of operation since September 2020 after a fire raised concerns about safety guidelines. Melkoeya produces gas from the Snoehvit offshore field in the Barents Sea, 160 kilometres (100 miles) away. The field had to...
