[High-Res]
I had totally forgotten about this picture until a friend was telling me about how she had a dream the other day that the whole Jounieh coast and sea were invaded by the Israeli Army. I remembered this picture I’d taken back in March 2012 when I woke up and saw a big carrier in the middle of the sea with small army boats around it and helicopters in the air. At first glance, I thought it was some UNIFIL naval unit but then I gave it a closer look and didn’t find any non-Lebanese flags on it so it could be ours.
More maritime maneuvers were performed on July 15 2012 with French naval forces in the presence of “Jean Bart†frigate shown below. I will post some pictures if I find any.
You can check out the Lebanese Army Navy Website [Here] and information about the Lebanese Navy SEALs Regiment, one of the best units in the army.

The ship in the first pic is a French Mistral class. It could either be the Mistral or the Tonnerre.
Shouldn’t a government website be well revised. If you go to the Lebanese Army Navy Website and scroll down you will see a mixture of English and French, like: “The Israeli Ennemi”.
Just thought I’d point that out. Otherwise, god bless the Lebanese Navy.
