The Reshef Class vessels will  empower the Israeli Navy capabilities in the future combat field and will assist in protecting Israel’s Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) as well as the off shore oil & gas facilities within Israel’s territorial waters.

Replacing the reliable above-20-years-in-service SA’AR 4.5, the new vessel is to successfully withstand the new and evolving threats and challenges the force will face. Based on the ISL S-72 design, the vessel will feature all-Israel defence technologies.

The crew will include 50 people with the possibility of hosting additional groups, such as special forces soldiers.
