What fleet should Germany build by 2030 with five percent of GDP available?
Short answerThe proposed force prioritizes submarines, heavily armed escorts, and amphibious ships to dominate the Baltic while retaining an expeditionary option.
NotesSubmarines and deep-magazine escorts would control sea space and protect operations, while amphibious forces turn that control into mobility around the Baltic shore. The same combination could form a limited global expeditionary package without designing the whole navy around distant carrier operations.
