Bahad 600

Bahad 600 is a naval training facility located near Haifa that focuses on submarine operations, fast missile boat handling, and advanced naval command training. The base has specialized areas designed to support these different types of maritime instruction.

The facility was established to strengthen Israel's naval combat capabilities and secure the country's defense along the Mediterranean coast. It became a key training ground for experts to staff Israel's growing submarine fleet.

The owl emblem on site represents knowledge and learning, values that sit at the heart of how Israel prepares its naval personnel.

The site is generally not open to the public because it is an active military facility. Visitors interested in naval history or military technology can visit nearby maritime museums or take harbor tours instead.

The training facility sits in an area where military installations blend with residential buildings and medical centers, reflecting complex urban development around the port. This proximity to civilian spaces makes it an interesting example of how military and civil life coexist in a port city.
