Public and secret all at once. well done.

..."Life Insurance Policy". There is nothing like knowing that you have your bitterest enemies "personal package" clenched tightly in your fist and that the amount of squeeze is entirely up to you.

Seeing it out the water like that the thing looks so tiny and makes you wonder what it must be like for the crew staying in that little tube for 1 month+ at a time most the time underwater. Have to admire the submariners just for managing to live that life, the subs might be the most glamorous of the boats in the Israeli navy but they sure are not the branch of the navy the average sailor would want to be serving in.

Israel needs a foreign contractor or a shipyard in a foreign freindly highly industrialized country. South Korea comes to mind. They lead the world in commercial shipbuilding...and they ships they build are huge containerships, etc. Israelis can supervise the work done. All this can be done with total news blackout.

The final sub is coming from Germany not the US, they are all German made boats. I have a feeling that the Dolphins will be the last generation of submarines in the navy if the major threats like Iran have been dealt with in around 30 years time when the newest subs will be due for retirement then the government will probably decide the navy no longer needs submarines to save money.

the great satan of iran will never force the sovereign jewish state to submit to islam.

after the iranian revolutionary guards' rear-admiral bragged, just last week, about being able to sink american aircraft carriers in a matter of minutes, an iranian sub sank in the straits of hormuz, with the loss of the boat and its crew. (imagine if the mockup had actually fired back!) the leviathan is a real submarine, not a make-believe story enhanced in photoshop, and let us hope and pray that she sails safely. but it's an odd coincidence.

4,5 not mine.

The Leviathan is one amazing and beautiful submarine and such an amazing and incredible wonderous achievement by these workers to refurbish it so beautifully .KOL HAKAVOD.

that many of our soldiers endure in order to safeguard the country from annihilation. Whenever you see a soldier in uniform, you may not know what they do on a day to day basis. Look at them with awe for what they do is to ensure your survival. Thank god for our dear soldiers. Without them the Jews of Israel would be done.

It has a big nose.
