Aircraft carrier group "Eisenhower" on its way to Europe

Aircraft carrier group "Eisenhower" on its way to Europe

Gepostet von | 16 Oct 2023 | , , , | 7

While the new super aircraft carrier "Gerald R. Ford" was deployed somewhat hastily to the warlike scenario in the eastern Mediterranean a week ago on its very first trip abroad, which only began in May, a transfer to European waters had long been planned for the aircraft carrier "Dwight D. Eisenhower" and its associated strike group. And yet: with the second carrier group heading for Europe, the USA is once again sending a signal to the states surrounding Israel not to start an additional dispute in support of Hamas and Hezbollah troops. "DON'T" - as the US Secretary of State just said it in the shortest possible form. The...

Korvette Oldenburg: Suddenly everything is different!

Die Korvette "Oldenburg" der Deutschen Marine befindet sich zur Zeit im Seegebiet vor der libanesischen Küste mit Stützpunkt in Limassol auf Zypern. Sie ist damit die deutsche Einheit, die in unmittelbarer Nähe zum palästinensisch-israelischen Brandherd ihren Dienst versieht. Für den UNIFIL-Einsatz verließ sie während der "Hanse Sail" im August erst ihren Heimathafen "Hohe Düne" in Warnemünde, um in das östliche Mittelmeer zu verlegen. Damit war eigentlich kein besonderes Herzklopfen verbunden,[ds_preview] weil dieser Einsatz mit dem Auftrag der Überwachung der seewärtigen Zone nordwärts von der israelisch-libanesischen Landesgrenze zwecks Unterbindung des Waffenschmuggels in den Südlibanon bereits seit 2006 als UN-Mission besteht...

Apply for the transfer or exchange of old recreational boating licences! The recreational boating licence in cheque card format is not only practical because it fits in your wallet to save space, but unlike the old paper documents, it is also robust and robust and can also get wet, for example - a real boating licence! The end of the season and the coming, usually "boat-free" winter period is the ideal time to apply to the German Motor Yacht Association (DMYV) to exchange or transfer your old licence to the new format. Exchange and transfer of old licences and other certificates of competence are aimed at all those who either still have old recreational boating licences from the...

Pacific Airshow: Flight demonstration of the F-35 Lightning II

Pacific Airshow: Flight demonstration of the F-35 Lightning II

Even those who need no more convincing of the flight and manoeuvrability of the single-engine F-35A Lightning II must be allowed to watch this video from this year's Pacific Airshow on 30 September over Huntington Beach in California south of Los Angeles! The U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Navy are more likely to be flying the F-35B and F-35C, but they are the same aircraft types. The US Air Force pilot, Major Kristin Wolfe, flies this aircraft as if the Swiss physicist and mathematician Daniel Bernoulli (1700 - 1782) had just retired. The high humidity also contributes to the flow of air through the fuselage...

Double change of command in the 2nd FGschw

On Friday, 6 October 2023, a double change of command took place in the 2nd Frigate Squadron. Under overcast skies and in almost autumnal temperatures, Frigate Captain Jan Fitschen (45) was replaced after three and a half years in command of the frigate HAMBURG by Frigate Captain Andreas Schmidt (42), who had previously handed over command of the frigate SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN to Frigate Captain Bastian Saphörster (42). The squadron commander, Captain Olliver Pfenning (48), emphasised the special nature of this double handover in his speeches. On the one hand it was a "burden sharing", on the other a "win-win situation". By this he meant sharing the challenging refit of the SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN as a "type ship" of the F123B class between two commanders...
