Did German naval patronage survive the world wars?

Did the German navy have similar patronage lineages?

Yes in the imperial period, but reductions after both world wars are said to have broken much of the continuity.

The Kaiserliche Marine is said to have possessed comparable patronage relationships. The contraction after World War I disrupted many of those links. The further dismantling after World War II is presented as another break in continuity. The comparison explains why a lineage may be harder to follow across repeated institutional reconstruction.
