Spain's pride

The Spanish navy has a wide range of capabilities. Many classes are national in-house developments with export potential. The Armada Española is one of the oldest navies in the world.

Its most important units include the Galerna-class submarines, the Alvaro de Bazan- and Santa Maria-class frigates, the Meteoro- and Serviola-class patrol vessels and the Segura-class minesweepers, as well as the Galicia, Castilla and Juan Carlos I amphibious support units. With the Patiño and Cantabria supply ships, the Spanish naval forces also have a significant naval defence force.

This was demonstrated above all by the attack on the destroyer USS Cole on 12 October 2000 in the port of Aden. While...

Three all-rounders

Auf den Booten der Klasse 332CL werden alle Kernfähigkeiten der Minenabwehr vereint. Die Umrüstung gilt als gutes Beispiel für die erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit zwischen Marine und Industrie.
