Editing Gal-class submarine (section)

== Ships ==
The first ship commissioned was ''Gal'' in December 1976. It was damaged by grounding on her delivery voyage but was repaired. ''Gal'' is now on display at the Israeli Naval museum in Haifa.

The next two ''Gal''-class submarines were named after their retired Israeli submarine predecessors of the retired British T class who themselves were named after two [[sea monster]]s mentioned in [[Book of Isaiah|Isaiah]] 51:9:

"Awake, awake, put on strength, O arm of the Lord; awake as in the ancient days, In the generation of old! Art thou not it that hath cut [[Rahab (demon)|Rahab]] ('''Rahav'''), and wounded the dragon? (in Hebrew, '''[[Tannin (demon)|Tanin]]''')"  These names will also be placed on two boats of the ''Dolphin'' class.<ref name=autogenerated1>{{cite web|url=http://www.nrg.co.il/online/1/ART2/317/269.html?hp=1&cat=875 |title=חדשות - צבא וביטחון nrg - ...בחיל הים שקלו לקרוא לצוללת |publisher=Nrg.co.il |date= |accessdate=2011-12-18}}</ref>
