Für was genau sollen die Atom uboote den tanken wollen? Andere schiffe klar , aber Atom uboote?

katjadiehl.bsky.social•4 days ago

Bin keine Uboot Expertin, aber Artikel sagen a. dass nicht die gesamte Flotte so angetrieben wird und b. immer auch "herkömmliche Antriebe" an Bord sind. Und überhaupt: Geht es nicht hier auch um ein ziemlich starkes Signal? Denn der Konzern an sich macht sich damit sicher nicht überall beliebt.

A symbolic measure:

Haltbakk Bunkers sold approximately 3,000,000 liters of fuel to American military vessels in 2024, the company's chairman and CEO, Gunnar Gran, informs VG.

Your comment is funny because what happened in the oval office was deep symbolic behavior.
Plus: Do you think it has no impact on the business beside the amount of the actual company relationship?
For me, it is Finland saying the US "not with us".
More companies should follow.

The implied symbolism was from a quote by the CEO, so not my words.

I have no clue if this has any strategic or financial ramifications, but it sure is gaining a lot of attention! I guess that's more than simply symbolic right now.
