Looks very impressive, I enjoyed this short tour of a Spanish navy warship! Interesting that you categorise the 5 inch gun in 'inches' rather than 'millimetres'.

@@SteamerbeenThanks for reply. It was just an observation really, doesn't matter too much, but tank guns seem to be always in millimetres, 120mm common on most main battle tanks Like our Challenger II's. I'm sure I heard UK Royal Navy destroyers and frigates mention mm rather than inches these days. I love big guns, I'm ex forces.

This Spanish ship has the same 5 inch cannon as the US Navy's DDG and CG ships. All of the weapons systems on this ship are the same as a US Navy's DDG-51 class ship. Spain designed their own frigate size ship for these systems.

Surely this thing has more punch that just the Hellfires on the Helo? Why not say "Spanish F-100 frigate armed with SM2"?????

Missiles are expensive, they probably do not have enough missiles to equip all 5 frigates, so they are not going to waste the few missiles they have in drones ordered at alibaba.
