Spanish Navy's second S-80-class submarine floated out

Spanish shipbuilder Navantia recently launched the future Narciso Monturiol, the second S-80-class diesel-electric submarine built by the company for the Spanish Navy.

Like class lead boat Isaac Peral, the future Narciso Monturiol will have an LOA of 80.8 metres, a hull diameter of 7.3 metres, a submerged displacement of approximately 3,000 tonnes, and air-independent propulsion, which can supply the boat with electrical power at any depth so that it can remain underwater for longer periods.
