Beunos Dias Amigo,

Let us not forget that if you run short of ships from that very impressive fleet you can always fall back on SS S-61 Delfin berthed in Torrevieja. Am I sure Senor Rafael Aracil would loan her to you if you allow him to Command it.

If the crisis continues like this ... I´ll never say not.



Yesterday the Chief Admiral of the Fleet announced deferring the construction of the frigate Cristóbal Colón (F-105), and not instruct sixth F-100. The submarines S-80 are delayed, while the S-70 are already finishing their work. I just hope that does not need to float again the submarine Peral, 1885, which we have kept at Cartagena.

It is no different in the UK.

The Peral looks much more at home in her new locations.

I would not liked to have served on her - a little too cramped for me.

Are they being disposed of - or could one of them be joining the Delfin [S61] as a Tourist attraction in Torrevieja.

I am sure the Museo del Sal would be overjoyed to add one of them to their collections.
