Exclusive photo For the 2nd Egyptian Gowind 2500 corvette in Alexandria shipyard .

2 Spanish Corvettes + 4 Gowind (Hopefully, 2 more) + 1 South Korean Pohang-Class (used, but still... A good addition).

I think we need much more corvettes... We should also start building our own Fast attack crafts and corvettes very soon.

I say, if some of the remaining Pohang corvettes are in a good condition, we buy and cooperate with South Korea itself (Or any other nation) to do any needed modernization of life-extending fixes. We should also look for more Modern-stealthy and agile medium and big corvettes... Let it be Western, Korean, Chinese, Turkish, or even Indian... But again TOT is extremely important.

I am sure Corvettes are not the No 1 priority now in the Navy... More Modern and capable Subs and frigates are far more important, I guess... In the end, and after decommissioning of the aging Romeo-Class Subs, 4 Subs are not really enough, even if they are German... Don't know, we'll probably buy a few Russian subs, I don't think we'll go for another 2 or 4 German (or even French Scorpene) Subs... Although, assuming we have the funds, and that we would had already more deals with France, 4 or 6 or 8 French subs with partial TOT would be great, Like India did I think, but it would be extremely expensive and hard ... And, I am sure we will be wanting even more Frigates in the coming 10 to 15 years... Those American Frigates, even if stayed in service for much more time, will be a good spearhead in the future modern wars.

If they pumped this one out so quickly, you would think the next 2 under contract will get built even quicker, right? Time to increase the number to 6 ships like they were talking about and maybe even more if possible.
Need a bunch of those deadly beasts for all the waters around Egypt.
