A spanish naval visit by the two Álvaro de Bazán-guided missile frigates; F101 Álvaro de Bazán and F104 Méndez Núñez.

They were built at the Spanish factory of Navantia in Ferrol. The ships are fitted with American Aegis weapons technology allowing them to track hundreds of airborne targets simultaneously as part of its air defence network. The class are one of the few non-US warships to carry the Aegis Combat System and its associated AN/SPY-1radar.
