Wilhelm Tobias Abry takes command of the German Navy

Rear Admiral Wilhelm Tobias Abry has officially assumed command of the German Navy during a ceremony at the Mürwik Naval School in Flensburg.

General Carsten Breuer, Chief of Defence for the Bundeswehr, oversaw the transition as outgoing Vice Admiral Jan Christian Kaack handed over his duties. Following the official ceremony, Kaack was honored with a traditional military retirement ceremony, the Großer Zapfenstreich, marking the end of his active service. Abry brings extensive maritime, operational, and international leadership experience to his new role as Inspector of the Navy.
