More on Egyptian Navy
Description from Wikipedia:
The Egyptian Navy is the smallest branch of the Egyptian military. The navy's missions include protection of more than 2,000 kilometers of coastline of the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea, defense of approaches to the Suez Canal, and support for army operations.
The navy's main operational subdivisions are the Frigate, Submarine, Mine Warfare, Missile Boat, and Coastal Patrol Boat commands. Commanding the naval forces is Vice Admiral Moheb Memish as of 1 Nov 2007.
The navy lacks its own air arm and depends on the air force for maritime reconnaissance and protection against submarines. The air force equipment that supports the navy includes 9 Gazelle, 13 SH-2G Seasprite and 5 Sea King helicopters mounted with antiship and antisubmarine missiles. In mid-1988 the air force also took delivery of the first of six E-2C Hawkeye aircraft, it also operates 6 Beech 1900C aircraft for maritime surveillance purposes with search and side-looking radar. The Egyptian Navy also uses Mi-8 and H-3 Sea King helicopters to transport troops.
The Egyptian Navy has adopted the 60m, diesel-powered Ambassador MK III fast missile patrol craft and construction of the boats began in spring 2001. Egypt already had an older version of the Ambassador patrol craft in service, but the new boats would contain an update in design meant to make the vessels more resistant to radar detection. Design was conducted with the assistance of Lockheed Martin.
