The United States of America delivers three “Cyclone-class” patrol boats to Egypt
The Egyptian Navy received (3) Cyclone-class patrol boats from the US Navy. Lieutenant General Ashraf Atwa commander of the Egyptian Naval Forces, and Lieutenant General Adm. Brad Cooper, commander of US Naval Forces Central Command, the US Fifth Fleet, signed the official handover and take over document. This was followed by the hoisting of the Egyptian flag on the patrol boats, marking their entry into service with the Egyptian Navy, which has recently witnessed a huge technological boom in armament systems and combat efficiency in line with the latest international systems.
The Cyclone-class patrol boats are among the most advanced units in the US Navy, as they are a new addition to our naval forces.
