Department of the Navy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Department of the Navy is a special department with responsibility for naval matters . The chief is commonly called the Minister of the Navy . The two forms - military or civil - are occasionally referred to as the Ministry of the Navy and the Ministry of Commerce .

Today there is no longer a state with an independent naval ministry.

To the department

The ministries of naval affairs were important to all seafaring powers , especially in the 19th century . They were usually set up next to or together with the war ministries - which were primarily responsible for the land forces - or were administrative authorities in the vicinity of the Admiralty . And they were initially consistently alongside the Navy and for the Merchant Marine in charge, as well as other aspects of the maritime economy , in some places as Colonial Office (overseas possessions).

In the course of the 20th century, the military agendas were all subordinated to the comprehensive defense ministries, where they partly continue to exist as departments ( naval department, naval office , etc.), but partly have merged with the general administrative structure (such as personnel matters, procurement, logistics, etc.). A few merchant marine ministries have been set up for civilian agendas , otherwise these usually belong to a ministry of transport or a ministry of economics . There are also special fisheries ministries (with matters relating to fishing fleets) or general marine ministries (for all maritime matters, including ecological or natural resources).

  20. ↑ Austria never had a naval minister, the Austrian navy was subordinate to the war ministry. In the Austro-Hungarian dual monarchy , the establishment of a joint naval ministry was reconsidered, but never implemented. Emperor Franz Joseph I appointed Vice-Admiral Wilhelm von Tegetthoff on February 25, 1868 as naval commander and head of the Reich Ministry of War, naval section.
    Today's Republic of Austria as a landlocked country does not have a marine resort. The Ministry of Defense is responsible for the few patrol boats that report to the pioneers . Civil shipping is dealt with at the Ministry of Transport and within the Danube Commission
