A short time ago, the Israeli Navy welcomed their newest landing craft – The INS Komemiyut LSV (landing craft). Arriving after a long journey from the port of Pascagoula in the United States, the craft is now docked at the Israeli Navy Base in Chaifa.
Upon entering the territorial waters of the State of Israel, the vessel was accompanied by Israeli Navy vessels in a ‘missing’ formation, this in memory of the fallen soldiers from the current‘Swords of Iron’ war.
“Today, while IDF soldiers conducted intense operations in various arenas, the Israeli Navy received a vessel with strategic importance to the State of Israel. During these historic moments, we salute our brothers in arms who fell while fulfilling their primary mission of maintaining the security of the State of Israel,” said David Saar Salama, the Commander in Chief of the Israeli Navy.
He continued: “Sailors of the INS Komemiyut, today you have completed a voyage of thousands of miles. The end of the voyage is the beginning of the journey for you. Your future actions will strengthen the cooperation between the IDF branches, expand the range of military operations, and maintain the security of the State of Israel.”
