Vice Admiral Friedrick Ruge, Inspector of the Federal German Navy (left) receives the Legion of Merit (Degree of Commander) from Chief of U.S. Naval Operations, Admiral Arleigh A. Burke, USN (right). The award was presented to Admiral Ruge on February 21, 1961. Burke and Ruge established a relationship of friendship and trust as they worked together to integrate the German navy rebuilt after World War II into the Western alliance system. In “German Navies from 1848 to 2016: Their Development and Courses from Confrontation to Cooperation,” author Werner Rahn recounts the arc of the history of German navies.
