President Abdel Fattah El Sisi on Thursday handed over copies of the Holy Quran and Egyptian flags to commanders of the new naval units as a go-ahead for their new duties.

The president has shortly attended a flag-hoisting ceremony for the new Egyptian naval units; French-made GOWIND corvette, named "Al Fateh", TKMS-built Type 209/1400 submarine and Mistral-class helicopter carrier, which is named after late president Anwar el Sadat.
