Egypt takes delivery of second French Mistral warship

None

NANTES- Egypt took delivery of a second French Mistral helicopter carrier on Friday, part of a $1 billion deal signed last year.

 

Egypt took over the ship at a ceremony in the Atlantic coast port of Saint-Nazaire. It was the second of two France agreed last year to sell to Egypt.

 

The two ships were originally built for sale to Russia, but that sale was cancelled after Russia's annexation of Crimea.
