Spanish Navy

The Spanish Navy, known as the "Armada Española," is the maritime branch of Spain's armed forces. Its primary role is to defend the country's interests at sea, ensure maritime security, and support international missions. The Navy operates various vessels, including submarines, destroyers, and support ships. Historically, it played a significant role during Spain's colonial era, but today it focuses on NATO and EU cooperation, humanitarian efforts, and combating piracy. The Navy also participates in naval exercises and maintains a presence in strategic regions to protect maritime trade routes and contribute to global security.
