To find out if submarines were present during the 1963 parade along the Corniche, you have to watch the video archives of the parades. But for the endowments in submarines for Egypt at that time it goes back well before during the year 1955.AD-786 318 - (The soviet union's quest for access to naval facIlities in egypt prior to the JUNE WAR OF 1967- George S. Dragnich-Center for Naval Analyzes Arlington, Virginia-July 1974)-(https://apps.dtic.mil/sti/pdfs/AD0786318.pdf

A redditor on r/submarines found this, i don't think egypt has any submarine with this length.

It's almost exactly right for the EN's Type 209/1400mod. The builder says "approximately 62 meters."
