BERLIN (Ruptly) — German manufacturer Thyssen-Krupp Marine Systems handed over a submarine to the Egyptian navy at a ceremony in the northern port of Kiel on Friday. Egypt’s naval commander Vice-Admiral Ahmed Khaled and other officials from both sides were present at the event.
Egypt has already received two similar submarines from Germany following a 2011 deal. The Egyptian navy is set to receive a fourth submarine as part of a separate agreement.
