German-British Naval Cooperation
A Royal Naval officer has been operating on board a German Naval frigate since 2024. Both sides profit from this.
Since 2007, the German Navy has been organising annual naval exercises with its partners on NATO‘s northern flank.
The German Navy is deployed worldwide at sea – to protect sea routes and citizens, to prevent conflict and manage crises, for humanitarian aid and, if necessary, for defence.
Germany’s naval forces in are subdivided into three large formations as well as several commands and institutions for their support and training of personnel.
