| | Sea Power: BAe buys into FRG's Atlas Elektronik |
 | | British Aerospace (BAe) has bought a 49 percent stake in Germany's STN Atlas Elektronik, whose parent company, shipbuilding giant Bremer Vulkan Verbund, filed for bankruptcy last year. |
 | | The government considered it imperative that STN Atlas Elektronik, as a strategic asset, did not pass into nonGerman ownership. |
 | | STN Atlas Elektronik has been very successful in the international marketing of its submarine, surface ship, and mine countermeasures sonars, and hopes, in collaboration with French and Italian interests, to offer its DM2A4 heavyweight torpedo to European navies. |
