Have you read any news regarding the navy? The submarine acquisiton have been reported for years and years but no deal closed yet.

Still not enough Frigates or corvettes. We have one of the weakest navies in the meditteranian sea. During the almohad empire time the navy was known to be the «first fleet of the Mediterranean". We need more warships, so we can be able to project our power beyond our borders.
