European Union Naval Force - Mediterranean A1411 BERLIN Auxiliary ship Berlin Auxiliary ship Berlin Length / Beam / Draft 173,7 m / 24 m /7,4 m Displacement 20.240 t Speed 20 kn Source: German Navy website www.marine.de The Ship The Type 702 Berlin class auxiliary ship is a series of multi-product replenishment oilers, originally designed and built for service in the German Navy (Deutsche Marine). Besides the three ships built for German Navy, the design has been selected as the design for the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) as a replacement for the two Protecteur-class auxiliary oiler replenishment (AOR) vessels retired in 2014. The Berlin-class replenishment ships are the largest vessels of the German Navy. In German, this type of ship is called Einsatzgruppenversorger which can be translated as task force supplier though the official translation in English is combat support ship, or in military parlance, a replenishment oiler. They are intended to support German naval units away from their home ports. The ships carry fuel, provisions, ammunition and other materiel and also provide medical services. The ships are named after German cities where German parliaments were placed. The initial requirement of the German Navy was for two ships of this class, built by Flensburger Schiffbau-Gesellschaft. A third unit was built by a consortium of several German shipyards and was launched in 2011. On 13 September 2013, Bonn was commissioned into service by the German Navy at Wilhelmshaven.

The Heroic Destroyer and "Lucky" Ship O.R.P. "Blyskawica"
Transactions on the Built Environment vol 65, © 2003 WIT Press, www.witpress.com, ISSN 1743-3509 The heroic destroyer and "lucky" ship O.R.P. "Blyskawica" A. Komorowski & A. Wojcik Naval University of Gdynia, Poland Abstract The destroyer O.R.P. "Blyskawica" is a precious national relic, the only remaining ship that was built before World War I1 (WW2). On the 5oth Anniversary of its service under the Polish flag, it was honoured with the highest military decoration - the Gold Cross of the Virtuti Militari Medal. It has been the only such case in the whole history of the Polish Navy. Its our national hero, war-veteran and very "lucky" warship. "Blyskawica" took part in almost every important operation in Europe throughout WW2. It sailed and covered the Baltic Sea, North Sea, all the area around Great Britain, the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea. During the war "Blyskawica" covered a distance of 148 thousand miles, guarded 83 convoys, carried out 108 operational patrols, participated in sinking two warships, damaged three submarines and certainly shot down four war-planes and quite probably three more. It was seriously damaged three times as a result of operational action. The crew casualties aggregated to a total of only 5 killed and 48 wounded petty officers and seamen, so it was a very "lucky" ship during WW2. In July 1947 the ship came back to Gdynia in Poland and started training activities. Having undergone rearmament and had a general overhaul, it became an anti-aircraft defence ship. In 1976 it replaced O.R.P. "Burza" as a Museum-Ship.

During the eventful month of February, NATO’s Standing Naval Forces (SNFs) were reinforced to face new challenges in the NATO Area of Responsibility (AOR), NATO Anti-Submarine Warfare platforms participated in DYNAMIC MANTA 19, and Operation Sea Guardian (OSG) executed the first Focus Operation of 2019 (FOCOPS 19-1). Additionally, several key engagement activities took place with NATO partners from the Pacific Ocean to the Black Sea. Maritime Security Operations In the last month, 76 warships from NATO Nations took part in OSG, providing support in different roles to this critical Maritime Security Operation in the Mediterranean. Additionally, 72 sorties of NATO Airborne Early Warning (AEW) and Maritime Patrol Aircraft (MPA) were flown in direct support of the operation. The AEW flights were provided by NATO’s own assets while the MPA flights were provided by Greece, Spain, Portugal, Turkey, France, and USA. Submarines under NATO and national operational command also operated in support of OSG, providing inputs from the important sub-surface dimension. From 7-24 February, FOCOPS 19-1 took place in the Eastern Mediterranean led by the Hellenic Navy Captain Spyridon Lagaras onboard the frigate HS Limnos, and supported by submarines and air assets. OSG remains a crucial operation to enhance NATO Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) in the Mediterranean, increasing the Alliance’ understanding of the Maritime Pattern of Life (MPoL) as the basis for detecting anomalies, and supporting the fight against crime at sea as a means to counter terrorism.

Naval Craft, Weapon and Sensor Systems
++ I&S NAVAL CRAFT, WEAPON AND SENSOR SYSTEMS Fr. Lürssen Werft Abstract: The article provides an inside view on trends in technology of current and future naval construction programmes as seen by Lürssen, the German shipyard for naval vessels located in Bremen, Germany. The changing operational require- ments recognised in many western European and overseas navies focus on a surface combatant such as a corvette-sized ship with advanced capabilities to meet the spe- cific demands for littoral warfare operations. Based on these new requirements the article outlines technologies in current and future designs for Corvette- and Frigate- sized ships. It includes different types of platforms together with their specific benefits and capabilities for the intended employment in littoral warfare. In addi- tion, measures to reduce the ship’s signatures for enhanced survivability are broadly discussed. With respect to adequate sea-keeping, manoeuvrability, speed and en- durance (properties) in the littoral environment, the article also expands on the de- velopment and characteristics of new propulsion systems emphasising the overall need for a high degree of automation in all system components. The discussion on modern combat system technology once again underlines the need for a modular and flexible system design with open system architecture. The highest possible level of system automation reducing the number of personnel in the CIC and en- suring immediate reaction in a threat scenario is a further topic. Full integration of all sensors and weapons coupled with proven operational software is the essential technical requirement in this context. Finally, the article comments on some eco- nomical aspects of current building philosophies touching thereby on possibilities for crew reduction, costs reduction, potential capabilities for midlife refit, and growth potential.

Navy Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) Program: Background and Issues for Congress
Navy Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) Program: Background and Issues for Congress Updated July 22, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R46374 SUMMARY R46374 Navy Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) July 22, 2020 Program: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke The Navy’s new Light Amphibious Warship (LAW) program envisions procuring a class of 28 to Specialist in Naval Affairs 30 new amphibious ships to support the Marine Corps, particularly in implementing a new Marine Corps operational concept called Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations (EABO). The Navy’s proposed FY2021 budget requests $30 million in research and development funding for initial industry studies and concept design work on the ship. The Navy envisions procuring the ships on an expedited schedule, with the first LAWs potentially being procured in FY2023 and a total of 28 notionally being procured by FY2026. The EABO concept was developed with an eye toward potential conflict scenarios with China in the Western Pacific. Under the concept, the Marine Corps envisions, among other things, having reinforced-platoon-sized Marine Corps units maneuver around the theater, moving from island to island, to fire anti-ship cruise missiles (ASCMs) and perform other missions so as to contribute, alongside Navy and other U.S. military forces, to U.S. operations to counter and deny sea control to Chinese forces. The LAW ships would be instrumental to these operations, with LAWs embarking, transporting, landing, and subsequently reembarking these small Marine Corps units. As conceived by the Navy and Marine Corps, LAWs would be much smaller and individually much less expensive to procure and operate than the Navy’s current amphibious ships.

Navy John Lewis (TAO-205) Class Oiler Shipbuilding Program: Background and Issues for Congress Ronald O'Rourke Specialist in Naval Affairs Updated December 12, 2019 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R43546 Navy John Lewis (TAO-205) Class Oiler Shipbuilding Program Summary The Navy began procuring John Lewis (TAO-205) class oilers in FY2016, and a total of four have been procured through FY2019, including two in FY2019. The first six ships are being procured under a block buy contract that was authorized by Section 127 of the FY2016 National Defense Authorization Act (S. 1356/P.L. 114-92 of November 25, 2015). The Navy wants to procure a total of 20 TAO-205s. The Navy’s proposed FY2020 budget requests the procurement of the fifth and sixth ships in the program. The Navy estimates the combined procurement cost of the two ships at $1,056.3 million, or an average of $528.1 million each. The two ships have received $75.0 million in prior- year advance procurement (AP) funding, and the Navy’s proposed FY2020 budget requests the remaining $981.2 million in procurement funding needed to complete the two ships’ estimated combined procurement cost. The Navy’s proposed FY2020 budget also requests $73.0 million in AP funding for TAO-205s to be procured in future fiscal years, and $3.7 million in cost-to- complete procurement funding to cover cost growth on TAO-205s procured in prior fiscal years, bringing the total FY2020 procurement funding request for the TAO-205 program (aside from outfitting and post-delivery costs) to $1,057.9 million.

Round I: 1898 - the First Naval Law
Chapter 1 Round I: 1898 - The First Naval Law General Briefing for round I The state of the nations After a series of diplomatic encounters and small wars orchestrated by Bismarck, Germany beat France in a decisive war in 1871, and exacted reparations; in that year, Germany became asingle, federal nation under a constitution written by Bismarck. There are three separate branches of government. The Presidency is held by the German Emperor (a job reserved for the King of Prussia). The Emperor has personal control of the armed forces. The Chancellor hasresponsibility for foreign policy, and appoints ministers with the Emperor’s consent. The Bundesrat represents the German princes. The Reichstag is elected. The Emperor can appoint or dismiss a chancellor; the Reichstag must approve, but cannot initiate legislation, nor can it appointordismiss ministers; the Emperor (with the approval of the Bundesrat) can dissolve theReichstag. The Reichstag approves the budget. In 1890, Wilhelm II — a great believer in personal rule by the Emperor, described as “not quite sane” by some observers and “like a balloon. If you do not hold fast to the string, you never know where he will be off to” by Bismarck — dismissed Bismarck (who also believed in personal rule, but by himself) as Chancellor and replaced him with a more malleable candidate. By the time of our game, Germany is growing very fast (see the graphs, which encapsulate the only figures I have). There are two popular visions of how Germany can grow further: either it must expand overseas by establishing colonies, which will provide raw material for German industry, or it must use its wealth to improve social conditions at home.

ABSTRACT Shipbuilding in the United States is examined in the context of its productivity problem and the possible solutions offered by modern shipbuilding techniques. Specifically, group technology is applied to naval shipboard piping systems. A nine digit code is developed to iden- tify pipe assembly manufacturing attributes, with emphasis placed on utilization of the code for workload balancing and reduction of setup time. Use of the code for rudimentary shop routing is also discussed. The code is shown to serve as an excellent means of organizing pipe assembly information into a usable data base.
