Die Struktur einer möglichen zukünftigen europäischen Marine

Ireland is not gonna be a part of that realistically

Aahh, the beginnings of the UEO Navy. Later, the naval arm of Starfleet. Where’s Roy Scheider?

The Václav Havel aircraft carrier was an April fool’s joke

Longyearbyen is not gonna happen.

Air craft carriers are essentially a tool for force projection. Europe does not need such naval assets in a hypothetical war with Russia. They are expensive and have little utility fighting a war on NATO’s eastern and northern flank.

They would have some utility maintaining the Uk, Iceland Greenland gap denying Russian subs access to shipping lanes. Here the existing UK France and Italy (?) ships should be enough. But dollar for dollar more could probably be done with less using Asw frigates/destroyers, conventional subs and long range aircraft.

Edit: the map also conveniently places major naval stations where none are today, and misses existing naval stations….

Entire thing I ragebait bs

Oh UK is there. How old is this?
Also love the fact Ukraine and Georgia are considered EU. And is Belarus too?
And also good to see Královec (known as Kaliningrad today) will go to Czechia for their naval base so they can manage the Václav Havel aircraft carrier.

This is just fanfic?

Personally, I think Schumann should have a carrier named after him

Is Svalbard convention going to be denounced?

This post is just a Euro fed fanfic there isn’t much to it of substance

Seeing my hometown Wilhelmshaven as a European Main Base is… interesting. But it would explain alot of things happening here since 2025.

Belarus in the EU but not Turkey? lmao

Well the map by itself is very questionable but I ll give my 2 cents. For Greece the crete naval base (Souda naval base) is probably better for a european navy since it is probably the only deep water naval base in the eastern mediteranian that can support supercarriers.

What the hell do we need 7 aircraft carriers for????

Looking into this a little harder than the OP appears to.

The actual source for this appears to be u/midnightrambulador who posted this image on r/imaginarymaps a couple of years ago:

Their comment about the map:

> *L’Europe glorieuse, ce sont des flottes, des navires et encore des navires, des sillages sur l’eau des mers; ce sont des peuples de marins, des ports, des chantiers navals.*

> – Fernand Braudel

> This is part of my „Europa Foederatissima“ setting: a vision of what a federal Europe might look like in 2060-2070ish, leaning heavily on French Revolutionary/Napoleontic aesthetics. Earlier posts [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/s4phud/future_federal_europe_with_frenchstyle/) and [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/imaginarymaps/comments/12hq9o4/whats_direct_rule_from_brussels_without_direct/).

> This map presents the structure of the Federal Navy: its fleets (5 regional fleets plus a „High Seas Fleet“ with worldwide reach), major bases, and capital ships (aircraft carriers and cruisers). Carriers are named after statesmen and intellectuals who contributed to the cause of European unity; cruisers are named after famous admirals from European history.

> I make no claims to military or nautical realism – this map mostly serves to add flavour and symbolism to the setting. What’s a federal Europe without a Jacques Delors aircraft carrier?

👆 Least delusional r/Europe post of the month.

let’s do this great Europe Nation!!

Why Dundee and not Faslaine, why no Portsmouth, Malta would make sense
