Protecting Israel

The Israel Navy is to receive its next generation of missile ships, the Sa’ar 6-class corvette, which will defend the country’s strategic maritime assets from enemies such as Hezbollah.

On Wednesday, the Israel Navy formally received the INS Magen, hoisting the Israeli flag on the ship during a ceremony held at the Thyssenkrupp Marine Systems shipyard in Kiel, Germany, and attended by Navy commander V.-Adm. Eli Sharvit and other senior officials.

Three others, INS Oz, INS Atzma’ut and INS Nitzahon, will follow, with the last expected to arrive by the end of 2021.

I'm working on creating a Mug for the new Missile Ships to add to our Protecting Israel Collectable Mugs series.
