This article had to be totally reviewed. There is no linkage between the old Reichsmarineamt and the modern Marineamt besides the name. While the old RMA was a part of the government, similar to a ministry of the navy, the modern MA is a specialised naval command at a subordinate level.

Also there was a number of mistakes in the old article. First of all, the name Kaiserliche Marine disappeared in 1919, then there was the Reichsmarine and finally in 1935 the Kriegsmarine. The Treaty of Versailles did not reduce the RMA but the Navy. The RMA was dissolved in 1919 and there was a new Ministry of the Reichswehr (the German armed forces as a whole) with a navy department in it, the Marineleitung.

This means that the article was basically beyond repair, and I highly recommend to write a new article "Reichsmarineamt" only after much more thoroughly researching the subject.--KuK 11:34, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
