Israel Receives New Dolphin-Class Submarine 'INS Drakon' in Haifa
Israel's Navy, the Ministry of Defense, and Germany's TKMS shipyard have completed the planning, development, and construction of the new submarine, INS Drakon. The submarine was officially received in a ceremony held at the naval base in Haifa.
The INS Drakon is the second of the new Dolphin-2 class submarines, which are larger and more advanced than previous models. These submarines are considered a strategic asset for Israel, enhancing its naval capabilities and deterrence posture.
The acquisition and construction process involved significant collaboration between Israeli defense bodies and the German shipbuilding company. The ceremony in Haifa marked a key milestone in the integration of this advanced platform into the Israeli Navy's fleet.
