	The Rise of the German Navy Under the influence of Tirpitz: 1890-1912
		Twenty million Germans were born during this 23-year period, swelling the population from 49 million to 69 million -- an expansion of 40% This unexpected population boom fuelled the enthusiasm for nationalism, Lebensraum, and German territorial expansion.
		The expansion and development of the German navy was influenced by a number of socio-political factors: forces that produced individuals and groups searching for control of the political status quo, and groups and individuals attempting to maintain it.
		In the German press there were occasional voices of dissent against the large expansion of the fleet, but they were not effective in slowing the momentum of Tirpitz and the solid alliance of the Kaiser's Sammlungspolitik -- the bourgeoisie and the Prussian aristocratic alliance.

	German Navy
		German naval policy had a domestic-political agenda and was important to the prestige of the monarchy, but it appears that he may have been hoping for a significant, if unspecified, event which would present Germany with its "political independence" from Britain.
		An examination of the German diplomatic documents of the period reveals numerous marginal notes by the Kaiser and correspondence from Bülow which stress continually, however, that this point was not negotiable and that the ambassador was to refrain from discussing the subject with the British.
		German desire for overseas expansion was linked to a European strategy which required the swift destruction of France and an irreversible shift in the European balance of power.

		The participation of German Navy ships and maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) in the enforcement of the UN embargo against the former Yugoslavia in the Adriatic was a visible sign of a process that had started with the fundamental transformations in Europe at the end of the 1980s.
		Thus all the activities of the German Navy related to the employment of naval units, whether carried out on a national or international scale, in peacetime, a state of defense, or within the framework of special missions, are centralized under the Fleet Command.
		German mine countermeasures units were also successful in an operation, BALTIC SWEEP, conducted at the beginning of September 1996 in the Gulf of Riga to provide technical assistance and training support to the Latvian Navy.

	German Navy - Bundesmarine
		The primary areas of operation of the German navy (Bundesmarine) in the event of war are the Baltic Sea and the North Sea.
		Until 1990 the navy's mission had been to block the Baltic approaches on behalf of NATO to prevent the deployment of the Soviet Baltic Fleet in the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean.
		Under the chief of staff of the German navy are three major commands: the Fleet Command at Gluecksburg on the Baltic Sea; the Naval Office at Rostock, responsible for enlisted personnel, schools, armament, and the medical service; and the Naval Logistics Command at Wilhelmshaven.

		By the end of the First World War the German Navy was one of the largest in the world.

		In April 1940 Hitler gave permission for this move but he was disappointed by the heavy losses that the German Navy suffered during the achievement of this objective.

		While integral to the German operation, U-boats failed in that engagement, proving unable to attack the relatively fast moving British Royal Navy warships-specifically the battle cruisers of British Admiral David Beatty-successfully.
		In the interwar exercises of the German Navy, and as late as its 1940 operations off Norway against Allied warships and convoys bound for the USSR in 1942, U-boats and surface warships tried to cooperate as teams to enhance the impact of both the surface and subsurface warships.
		German doctrine admitted a mutually supporting function, for both submarines and surface warships, to magnify the power of both against enemy combatants and merchant vessels.

		The Kriegsmarine (or "War Navy") was the name of the German Navy between 1935 and 1945, during the Nazi regime, superseding the Reichsmarine.
		The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the subsequent German declaration of war against the USA in December 1941 led to another phase of the Battle of the Atlantic.
		Although a major re-armament of the navy (Plan Z) was planned, and initially begun, the start of the war in 1939 meant that the vast amounts of material required for the project were diverted to other areas.

		In the Royal Navy, these ships were used primarily to act as blockaders, and convoy escorts to fill the gap left by inadequate numbers of light cruisers.
		In World War I the Germans did use several liners, but these were ships that were far from home when war broke out and had no hope of getting past the blockade and back to Germany.
		A few other navies operated such ships during wartime, but the primary users of these ships were the British and the Germans.

		The potential vulnerability Britain would experience when bereft of its naval power further motivated Britain to maintain control of the seas; its colonies would become vulnerable to anyone with the mind to take them, it would rely upon imported food, and it would be exposed to the dangers of starvation and invasion.
		The main purpose of the German fleet, to protect German shipping and colonies, required that it be able to defend against the most formidable potential threat, the British navy.
		Germany's navy could not be just pretty good, it had to be the best.
