The FREMM frigate Tahya Misr, delivered by DCNS to Egypt on June 23rd. It is now the flagship of the Egyptian Navy. Moreover, a year ago, DCNS won a contract to supply the Egyptian Navy with four Gowind corvettes. Slated in 2017, the delivery of the first corvette, which is developed and realized at the DCNS Shipyard in Lorient, will occur less than four years after the signature of the contract. The Egyptian Navy will also take delivery of two Mistral class LHDs in September (originally intended for the Russian Navy).

The Charles de Gaulle carrier strike group (CSG) is on its way back from the Arabian/Persian Gulf where it led the naval forces in the coalition against Daech (the Task Force 50) for over two months.
