A educação pública no Egito nunca foi, e nem é, reconhecida por sua eficácia/eficiência.
No nível superior eles estão tão mal ou pior do que nós.

Mas têm os meios, podem ir formando durante algum tempo
Agora quem não tem meios nem forma nem nada

Creio temerária esta lógica onde vai formando o pessoal em serviço. Este tipo de navios não toleram erros de usuários despreparados. A não ser que eles tenham contratado também a formação junto com a compra dos navios. Mas aí é algo em paralelo à operacionalidade do navio.
Cada meio deste tem de ter duas tripulações ao menos. Isto significa pouco mais de 400 homens a disposição. Como são dois, boa aí uns mil tripulantes, para cobrir ambos. É bastante coisa.

TKMS press release

Following the strict corona prevention measures at the shipyard, the handover took place in Kiel.

Dr. Rolf Wirtz, CEO of thyssenkrupp Marine Systems: „I would like to thank everyone involved for the open dialogue and the trusting cooperation. The success would not have been possible without the professionalism and competence of our employees, customers and suppliers. The handover of the fourth and last HDW Class 209/1400mod submarine in the project means, that our Egyptian colleagues will return home. We wish them all the best for the future and hope to welcome them back at our shipyard for further projects soon.”

The contract for the delivery of the first two 209/1400 mod class submarines to the Arab Republic of Egypt was signed in 2011. In 2015, Egypt decided to take the option for two additional units. The first submarine was handed over in December 2016, the second in August 2017 and the third in April 2020. All four submarines will enhance Egypt’s defense capabilities and combat efficiency, achieve maritime security, and protect Egyptian coasts as well as the economic interests between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean Sea.

Egypt Inaugurates A New Naval Base Near The Libyan Border
Egypt inaugurated its newest naval base close to the Libyan border on July 3. The new naval base, “3rd of July Base”, is located in Gargoub on Egypt’s northwest coast, around 255 kilometers (160 miles) west of the Alexandria port.
by Tayfun Ozberk | 07 Jul 2021

The opening ceremony was held on the last day of the Egyptian Navy’s large-scale exercise, Qader-2021. Egypt’s President, Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, attended and led the inauguration ceremony. The event hosted VIP guests, including crown-prince of UAE, Libya’s President of Presidential Council, Commander of the U.S. Naval Forces Central Command & U.S. 5th Fleet, Egypt’s command echelon, and other high-level officials.

El-Sisi released a document to endorse the opening of the new base that announces the official confirmation of the President.

“As part of our responsibility to strengthen the comprehensive power of the State and to maximize the Egyptian capabilities in all fields and sectors, foremost of which is the armed forces whose role is to protect the State’s wealth, in continuation of the process of supporting the pillars of the Egyptian national security on all strategic directions,” said Egypt’s President in the opening document.

Egyptian newest naval base

He also underlined that the base aims to preserve the country’s economic wealth, secure shipping lines, and maintain maritime security by using naval surface units, submarines, and aircraft.

The new base takes its name from July 3, the day al-Sissi took over the control of Egypt. It is spread over more than 10 million square meters. The 3rd of July Base includes 74 facilities and numerous combat units, an operations center, a joint exercise center, seven training fields, and a military quay at a length of 1000 meters and a depth of 14 meters, which can host commercial ships.

According to Egyptian Navy Chief Vice Admiral Ahmed Khaled, the new base will host two FREMM Bergamini frigates, an Egyptian Gowind-class frigate, a 209 submarine, and 15 different types smaller naval assets.

A brief evaluation of the base’s position:

The position of the 3rd of July base is strategic because it is located at the entrance of the Eastern Mediterranean Sea and very close to the Libyan border. The purpose of the new naval base, which is only 150 miles from the port of Alexandria, seems to be more aimed at Libya. Because the base’s location provides quick response capability to the Egyptian Navy to the Libyan civil war when needed.

Egypt considers the developments in Libya as a national security issue. So, this base shows Egypt’s intention to intervene in the incidents in Libya from the sea in a short time

Major Naval Bases in the Eastern Mediterranean

On the other hand, the geography of the base’s location does not provide natural protection to the ships and other military units stationed on the base due to the flatness of Egypt’s Eastern Mediterranean. The absence of natural protection, an essential issue in selecting the position of the bases, will cause Egypt to embark more defense systems to protect its assets from air, surface, and subsurface attacks.

About Qader-2021 naval exercise:

Egyptian Navy’s annual large-scale exercise, Qader-2021, was concluded with Distinguished Observer Day activities in conjunction with the inauguration of the new base. The exercise included land, naval, and air drills under a scenario. The participating units carried out activities to secure Egypt’s Mediterranean coast against an adversary naval force in coordination with the other military branches.

Egyptian Naval assets carried out several live-firing activities during the exercise.

- The FREMM-class (Aquitaine) multipurpose frigate, ENS Tahya Misr, launched an Exocet MM40 Block III anti-ship missile through a decommissioned Polnocny-class landing ship and hit the target with pinpoint accuracy.
- A Type-209/Mod1400 submarine fired a SeaHake Mod4 heavyweight torpedo on another decommissioned ship (possibly the Soviet-origin Yurka-class Minesweeper) and sunk the target.
- During the AAW exercise, a Gowind-class corvette launched a single MICA-VL Surface-to-air missile. An Ambassador Mk III class fast attacking craft fired multiple RIM-116 RAM missiles against an aerial target.
