Service history
Sharvit began his service in the IDF Navy in 1985, serving numerous positions and later heading the Navy's missile boat fleet in 2009. Sharvit then served as the commander of the Navy's Haifa base, taking over command from then-base commander Ram Rothberg, from 2011 to 2014. From 2014 onwards until his appointment as Commander, he served as the Chief of staff for the Israel Navy.[1][2][3]
Commander of the Israeli Navy
On September 12, 2016, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman approved his appointment as the next head of the Israeli Navy, after being nominated by IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot.[1][4][2][5] He is to be promoted in rank to Major General (Aluf). He replaced Vice-Admiral Ram Rothberg, who served as the Commander of the Israeli Navy for five years.[3] He officially entered his role as the Commander of the Israeli Navy at a ceremony in Tel Aviv.
