We chose Rostock to host UDT 2021 as it is home to Marinekommando - the high command of the German Navy and staff of the Inspector of the Navy, the Navy's highest commander.
Formed in 2012, it was a merger of the Navy Office (Marineamt), Naval Staff (Führungsstab der Marine), and Fleet Command (Flottenkommando), as part of a larger re-organisation of the Bundeswehr.
Germany has been a great location over the years for UDT and we are excited to return in 2021!
