and several generations from the narrowness of despair and hopelessness to the spaciousness of hope, pride, dignity and faith.

In his speech, Captain Mohsen Mokhtar El-Gohary discussed the cleaning of the Suez Canal, which is considered an extension of the October War. His Excellency reviewed the various diving activities in the Navy, namely: tactical diving carried out by frogmen, marine rescue, and military engineers. He also touched on the bombing operations carried out in cooperation with military engineers, the role of the human element in the war, the martyrdom doctrine of Egyptian soldiers, as well as the values of faith in God, love of the homeland, and hatred of the enemy, which played a major role in the successive victories achieved by the Egyptian army that dazzled the world. He also reviewed the impact of the October War on military thought.
