Israels INS Magen - 1st Of The IDF's 4 New Sa'ar 6-Class Corvettes Built In Germany
The word Shield or Defense in Hebrew is magen (מגן) and it appears 63 times in the Bible. It is primarily translated as shield or buckler with the remaining occurrences translated defense or armed. Magen comes from the root ganan (גנן) which is a verb meaning to defend, cover, or surround. Easton’s Bible Dictionary adds another dimension to our definition, stating that the word shield is “used figuratively of God and of earthly princes as the defenders of their people.”
Some biblical shields were used in warfare while others were not. King Solomon made 300 shields of beaten gold and hung them on the walls of the House of the Forest of Lebanon (1 Kings 10:17). Matthew Henry’s commentary tells us, “He made 200 targets, and 300 shields, of beaten gold, not for service, but for state, to be carried before him when he appeared in pomp.” This use of the word shield can be seen today when we talk about a police officer’s shield or badge.

The Israeli Navy on Sunday announced the names of its four new Sa’ar 6-class corvettes,
the first of which is due to be delivered by the end of 2019.
The ships will be named “Magen,” meaning shield; “Oz,” meaning valor;
“Atzmaut,” meaning independence; and “Nitzahon,” meaning victory.
The first corvette is scheduled to arrive in late 2019. The other three will be delivered by the beginning of 2021.
The ships are far larger and more powerful than the Sa’ar 5-class warships
— currently Israel’s biggest — and are specifically meant to protect the country’s gas field and shipping lanes.
“The arrival of the ships will significantly change the face of the Navy,” said the head of the Israeli Navy Maj. Gen. Eli Sharvit.
“The navy will operate vessels with new capabilities that we do not currently possess,” he said.

Israel's first Sa'ar 6 corvette officially named in Germany.
The INS Magen, the first Sa'ar 6 corvette, was officially named at a Kiel, Germany, ceremony.
The ceremony was led by Navy Commander Eli Sharvit, Defense Ministry Head of Procurement Avi Dadon, Navy Material Command head Yossi Ashkenazi, project head Brigadier-General Erez, INS Magen Commander Lieutenant Colonel Baruch, commanders and soldiers who took part in the project, and shipyard employees.
The launch included the customary breaking a bottle of champagne on the ship's bow, an act carried out by the Navy commander's wife, Etti Sharvit.
The Sa'ar 6 corvettes, including the INS Magen, will significantly increase the strength of Israel's missile boat flotilla,
and they will serve as the "tip of the spear" in protecting strategic Israeli interests.
The Sa'ar 6 corvettes are equipped with equipment and abilities which break the equality and provide support for operational offenses which will be used to defend Israel.
"Today, when we give the missile corvette a Hebrew name - the INS Magen - we add another signficant brick to our country's protective wall. Building watercraft is like going on a long, many-year trip. One step after another we walk a complex path which presents many challenges and requires close cooperation with many others along the way. I would like to thank all our partners in this journey, both in the Navy and outside of it," Eli Sharvit said.
"Just one year ago we stood here at a ceremony marking cutting the first metal, and here, a year later, we are standing in awe of the first of four ships, the INS Magen," Dadon added. "This unusual achievement is thanks to the hard work of Navy commanders and those in the Defense Ministry. Together with our partners in the German shipyard, you turned a dream into reality. This will dramatically influence the amount of power the Navy has."
Thyssenkrupp CEO Rolf Wirtz said, "We are very proud to contribute to Israel's security.
The Sa'ar 6 ships are the most advanced and largest in the Israeli Navy.
The Israeli industry will put together the final systems, and these ships will greatly aid the country's economy."
