Answer

Starting from the 1890s, German Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz transformed the modest Imperial Navy into a world-class force. Under Tirpitz's leadership, the German Navy expanded rapidly and became the second largest navy in the world, behind only the Royal Navy of Great Britain. Tirpitz's goal was to create a navy that would be powerful enough to challenge the British Navy and to protect Germany's interests overseas.
