On 7 November 2025, the Spanish Navy announced that the Isaac Peral S-80 submarine visited the Ras El Tin naval base in Alexandria, Egypt.
This came as part of an ongoing Egyptian evaluation of the submarine that began during a technical meeting in Madrid last October.
The following note sheds light on:
- The status of the assessment,
- The MoMP’s assessment in comparison with other submarines on offer,
- Egypt’s multi-supplier strategy for a mixed-class submarine fleet.
