First trial run for Egyptian Navy Gowind 2500 corvettes stalls

Trial runs for the first Egyptian Navy Gowind 2500 corvette launched this month by French defense manufacturer DCNS reportedly stalled due to “minor propulsion issues,” Quwa reports. ENS al-Fateh, set for delivery by year-end, is one of four Egypt ordered in 2015 as part of a EUR 1 bn contract under which three of the ships will be constructed in Egypt.
