Redskins were a 1980s English band, notable for their left-wing politics, skinhead image, catchy, danceable songs. Their music combined influences from soul, rockabilly and punk rock; the band formed in York, England with Chris Dean, Martin Hewes and Nick King. Chris Dean wrote for NME magazine under the name X. Moore. Dean and Hewes were members of the Socialist Workers Party; the band members helped inspire the redskin movement. The band released their first single, "Lev Bronstein", on the CNT record label in 1982, they released one more single, "Lean On Me", on CNT before signing to London Records. "Lean On Me" was ranked at number 6 among the top ten "Tracks of the Year" for 1983 by NME. On 10 June 1984, a group of white power skinheads attacked the band and their audience during a performance at the free GLC-sponsored Jobs for a Change festival at Jubilee Gardens, South Bank. In November 1984, an appearance on Channel 4's The Tube saw accusations of censorship after the band invited a striking miner on stage to deliver a speech during their performance, his microphone connection was cut.

King was replaced in 1985 by Paul Hookham, although for the recording of the band's first EMI/Decca single "Bring it Down", Style Council drummer Steve White was brought in to perform. Shortly afterwards, Hookham took over full-time drum duties, their next single, "Kick Over The Statues", was rush-released on an independent label with an uncredited sleeve after London/Decca rejected its release as a benefit for the anti-apartheid movement. The band released one full album, Neither Washington Nor Moscow, two final singles before splitting at the end of 1986.

German Naval Yards Holdings GmbH is a German shipyard group which combines three shipyards in the Kieler Förde under its umbrella: German Naval Yards Kiel and Lindenau. The group is a 100% subsidiary of Privinvest, a European shipyard group which owns other naval companies such as CMN in France and Isherwoods in Great Britain. In 2014, the GNYH shipyards generated a turnover of approx. 250 million euros with about 1,000 employees. German Naval Yards Holdings is active in two main business fields: German Naval Yards Kiel specialises in the design and construction of large naval vessels, such as frigates and offshore patrol vessels; the Lindenau shipyard focuses on maintenance services. Under the umbrella of GNYH, the three neighbouring shipyards operate under joint management and administration with the aim to use their facilities complementarily. GNY Kiel possesses the largest dry dock in the Baltic Sea region as well as a crane with a lifting weight of up to 900 tons. Nobiskrug uses a dock hall with a dry dock with a length of 200 meters.

The Lindenau shipyard has 480 meters of jetty facilities. German Naval Yards Holdings carries on a long shipbuilding tradition in the Kiel fjord; the foundation for the German shipyard group was laid in 2009, when Privinvest purchased Nobiskrug, at the time realised via the Abu Dhabi MAR Holding. The Rendsburg-based shipyard, founded in 1905, is specialised in the construction of individually manufactured superyachts of more than 60 meters length. In 2011, the group acquired GNY Kiel; the roots of GNY Kiel lie in the civil vessel activities of Howaldtswerke-Deutsche Werft. It has a long naval tradition as all frigate classes operated by the German navy were built at this yard. GNY Kiel operated under the names of HDW Gaarden and ADM Kiel. Altogether the yard has a history of more than 175 years, beginning with the first predecessor company Schweffel & Howaldt in 1838. In 2013, Privinvest purchased the Lindenau shipyard in Kiel. Lindenau was founded in 1919 as “Schiffswerft Memel - Lindenau & Cie.” in East Prussia and was rebuilt in Kiel-Friedrichsort after World War II.

Within the GNYH group, Lindenau today focusses on maintenance. In 2014, Privinvest grouped its German shipyards under the umbrella of the German Naval Yards Holdings; the group explained this name with its focus on naval shipbuilding and the complete takeover of ownership of the three yards by Privinvest. Two MEKO A200 frigates are constructed at the GNYH shipyards, a super-yacht, as well as an offshore-platform. In May 2015 it was announced that GNYH will build four corvettes for Israel together with ThyssenKrupp Marine Systems. Web page German Naval Yards Kiel Web page Nobiskrug Web page Lindenau
