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 Carrier|Wilhelm-class aircraft carriers]] and singular [[Solan-Class Aircraft Carrier|Solan-class aircraft carrier]]. In addition to deploying the four aircraft carriers, there are another four next-gen [[Welf-Class Aircraft Carrier|Welf-class carriers]] being built.

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 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.

Aircraft Cariers

The Kriegsmarine currently has four active aircraft carriers, the three primary Wilhlem-class nuclear aircraft carriers, and one auxiliary diesel aircraft carrier. There are four more next-gen aircraft carriers planned, with two already built.

Wilhelm-class
The Wilhelm-class are nuclear high-pressure steam-turbine powered aircraft carriers. Each ship has a displacement of approximately 100,000 long tons and is over 1,000 feet long. The flight decks use steam catapults and wire arrestors for launch and catch of aircraft. The Wilhelm-class has a top speed of 50 knots and a nearly infinite range. The aircraft cariers can hold upwards of 110 planes, depending on the flight accompaniment, and is staffed by a crew of nearly 1,200 seamen.

Welf-class
The new Welf-class nuclear aircraft carriers, the first launched in spring of 2021. The second, SMS Arminjon put to sea April 18th, 2023. The remaining two are due in 2026 and 2030. The flight deck of the Welf-class is 1,100 feet long. It displaces 98,000 long tons, and has a max cruising speed of over 30 knots. The crew is over 4,000 seamen, and it has space for nearly 200 aircraft, depending on the air wing. Significant improvements over the Wilhelm-class include a second launch deck, a dedicated helipad, improved effeciency reactors, and a longer landing strip, with space to land several different oversized aircraft. Additionally, the Welf-Class has an amphibious vehicle hangar in the rear.
