AEGIS and AEGIS Like escort combatants of the World
- Thread starter Jeff Head
- Start date
Too bad they do not have six of them.
At least they are building quite a few FREMMs and the air defense variety will be good.
Just not enough of them.
Those Horizon vessels, like the Darings are GREAT DDGs.

Yes, this is the next Spanish frigate. Their current F-100 (six Santa María-class) Frigates are in fact AEGIS vessels...this is their new program which will replace them in a few years. Here's that link translated into English:
Here's a good graphic on the F-110 for Spain. The first will come out in 2025:
Quite frankly, though they will have newer sesors, they are a step down from the F-100 frigates. The proposed armament specs for the F110 are:
F110 Armament According to sources Navantia: [ ]
• 1 gun MK45 MOD 2
• 1 launcher MK41 VLS 24 cells (CAMM or ESSM)
• 1 CIWS Millenium 35mm aft (dual purpose)
• 2 launchers quadruple anti - ship missiles RGM-84 Harpoon BLOCK II.
Aircraft 2 NFH / TTH or 2 or [ ]
Aircraft Equipment • platform for pointing the stern
• hangar for 2 helicopters the UAV
The current F-100 are:
F-100 Armament
One nice thing is that they will carry two helos. BVut apparently are not planning to carry any torpedos on the shi itself. Right now they have 4x2 Mk32 torpedoes aboard.
Bul cutting in half the VLS cells? That seems crazy to me.

That's because you don't know how useless the spanish politicians are.
I was born in 1978. Franco, the dictator, died in 1975. The current left wing politicians are trying to resurrect the spanish civil war as a way to recover the power and influence the have lost due to they bad policies, corruption and lack of ideas.
Since Franco died all spanish governments have underfunded the army, air force and navy. The left wing politicians because they associate the Armed forces with Franco and the right wing politicians because they don't want to be associated with the "Generalisimo".
Now the only thing they have given money to is the "UME or Military Emergency Unit", which are soldiers that don't carry weapons, they are there just to help civilians.....
Now, returning to the F-110s frigates. You can check out the Meroka. It has been out of use now for a couple of years. The last thing I heard was they were talking about 16 Mk41 Cells, not 48 cells and the Harpoons are really really old ones from the late 80s....
At least the radar is going to be good enough for área defense, even if, as they say, those ships are going to be armed only with ESSMs, not with SM-2s.

right now planned 5 replace 6 Perry/Santa María for sure VLS with 16 silos i think this graphic is more recent
