Germany Deploys Navy For First Time Since WW II

This is far from Germany's first overseas military deployment. Since the early 1990s the Bundeswehr has been involved in UN and Nato missions as far afield as the Balkans, Congo and Afghanistan - evidence of an increasingly confident foreign and defence policy. Until unification, post-war (West) Germany's military activities were confined to the Nato alliance, and were strictly within its European area of operations. http://www.guardian.co.uk/elsewhere/journalist/story/0,,1882097,00.html
