RanksRanks of Drambenburgian Kriegsmarine

The Kriegsmarine is one of four branches of the Wehrmacht of Drambenburg. It serves as the primary naval institution protecting Drambenburgian interests at sea. Its primary mission in the 21st century is to protect trade routes from piracy. It is one of the largest and most powerful navies in the CCA. Currently the backbone of the Kriegsmarine are the three Wilhelm-class aircraft carriers and singular Solan-class aircraft carrier. In addition to deploying the four aircraft carriers, there are another four next-gen Welf-class carriers being built. With 310,000 active personel and 148,000 reserve personel, the Kriegsmarine is the third-largest branch of the Wehrmacht.

The Kriegsmarine traces its origins to the Avergnonese border conflicts of the 1920s, when the monarchy saw a need for a unified and federally controlled navy, as opposed to the historical merchant marine that had been employed. With the invention of the battleship and other ironclad vessels at the turn of the 20th century, steam and wind powered sailing vessels were obsolete. In 1925 the Khakus comissioned six, new T-class destroyers. The national conscription extended to include the Kriegsmarine in 1932 when the Kreigsmarine was folded into the new Wehrmacht.

The Kriegsmarine play a decisive role in the World War, with Drambenburgian U-boats blocking trans-Toyanan trade. The navy one several decicive victories, and engaged in several major landing operations through the duration of the war. After the World War, the Kriegsmarine was the most inovative branch of the Wehrmacht, developing the nuclear technology used to power most of Drambenburg, along with many of the larger Kriegsmarine vessels.

The Kriegsmarine is under the Ministry of the Kriegsmarine, along with the Königliche Marines. The head of the Kriegsmarine is the Kaiser, and the head of the Ministry of the Navy is the civilian Minister of the Navy, Natalia Romanov. The Ministry of the Navy itself is a sub-ministry of the Ministry of Defense, headed jointly by the Khakus and the Kaiser. The Großadmiral is the highest ranking officer in the Kriegsmarine.
