Egypt has been dealing with its own crises of sorts for quite some time, but seems to be emerging as a Western ally again. With the sale of two French helicopter carriers, the door has been opened. The question remains to be seen how stable Egypt is and how they will use the modernization and force multipliers in their Navy.

The interesting thing that most of the news articles miss is the Saudi Arabia is going to pay for them. Egypt has the manpower Saudi Arabia lacks. Given that they are aligned in beliefs Saudi's get to wield the stick and Egypt is the stick.
They are looking to build a bridge from Egypt to Saudi Arabia...When the Saudi's foot the bill you can do just about anything.

I think Egypt is in pretty good shape. Their Center of Gravy is the will of their people, the same ones won a revolution.

Not sure overall but the first thought that popped into my head when I saw the article on the helo carriers the other day was "I hope Israel is planning on bolstering its Naval force..."
We just may see the return of Med Cruises.
