The new Commander-in-Chief of the Bulgarian Navy, Rear Admiral Plamen Manushev, was inaugurated at a ceremony in the Black Sea city of Varna Friday.
Manushev replaced Vice Admiral Minko Kavaldzhiev, who was in charge of the Navy for five years. He vowed to offer the officers under his command a fair attitude and a lot of work.
The outgoing commander, Kavaldzhiev, said the greatest achievements of his term were the creation of a new organization for fast reaction within the Navy headquarters, and the crafting of a number of new founding documents for the modernization of the Bulgarian Navy.
During the inauguration ceremony, the new Head of the Defense (formerly "head of the general staff of the army), General Simeon Simeonov, said that the Navy was due to receive its first new Panther helicopter by the end of 2009, and the other five - by 2011.
The six Panthers are part of a deal for the modernization of the Bulgarian Army, which also includes 12 Cougar helicopters that are to join the Bulgarian Air Force.
