SUBMARINES - NEW S80 CLASS - Isaac Peral (S-81)


Babcock play ‘key role’ in Spanish S-80 submarine rollout
April 23, 20216
Babcock International has supported the delivery of a significant milestone for the Spanish Navy, with its customer Navantia unveiling the first in class S-80 submarine in Cartagena Spain.

The S-80 programme is the first modern submarine of Spanish design and will deliver a “state of the art underwater capability” to the Armada Española.

According to the firm:

“Babcock plays an integral role on the platform, bringing to bear our extensive experience and world leading proprietary technology to deliver the Weapon Handling and Discharge Equipment (WHDE) and Acoustic Countermeasures Launchers (ACM) for the four boat class. Throughout design and build stages Babcock developed a bespoke Spanish supply chain to manufacture a significant amount of equipment for the S-80. The weapon tube Outboard Lengths and the Weapon Embarkation Equipment were the largest pieces of equipment manufactured in-country. Babcock will continue to manufacture a significant amount of equipment in Spain for the remaining boats on the programme.”

Richard Drake, Managing Director Babcock Defence Systems Technology said:

“We are absolutely delighted to support the delivery of a cutting edge sovereign submarine capability for Spain. Congratulations to Navantia and all industry partners involved in the rollout of the first in class, a truly remarkable day in which many years of hard work throughout the supply chain has come to fruition. Babcock’s work on the S-80 class is a testament to our expertise in Weapons Handling and Launch systems and underlines our global naval design, build, commissioning and support capability for submarines. We look forward to continuing the build and commissioning work on the next three boats, and supporting successful Harbour Acceptance Trials and Sea Acceptance Trials before Boat 1 is formally commissioned into the Spanish Navy.”

The first submarine which was unveiled on the 22nd of April, to be named Isaac Peral (S-81), is expected to be delivered to the Armada Española in 2022.

This will be followed by the Nariso Monturiol (S-82), Cosme Garcia (S-83), and Matero Garcia de los Reyes (S-84).Babcock play ‘key role’ in Spanish S-80 submarine rollout

Lead Ship, Unprotected Cruiser ESPS Aragon pictured at Nagasaki on May 24th 1883...Aragon was built at the Naval Shipyard at Cartagena. Her construction as an Armoured Cruiser with a central battery ironclad design began on May 2nd 1869, with plans to give her 890 tons of armour and 20 inches of armour at the waterline. Political events delayed her construction. In 1870, her design was changed to that of an Unprotected Cruiser and she was finally launched in this form on July 31st 1879 and completed in 1880. Her original conception as an armoured ship and the change to an unarmoured one during construction left her with an overly heavy wooden hull that was obsolescent by the time of her launch...Designed for colonial service, she had two funnels and was rigged as a barque. Her machinery was manufactured by John Penn & Company of Greenwich, United Kingdom.The original main battery of Armstrong-built 8-inch guns was obsolescent when she was completed, and were quickly replaced with more modern Hontoria-built 6.4-inch guns (a heavier main battery than that carried by her two sisters Castilla and Navarra), at least four of which were mounted in sponsons...In the 1890s, Aragon was assigned to the Cadiz Naval Group. She went out of service in the mid-1890s and became a floating hulk in 1896, she was sold for scrap in 1900.

From: Navy General Board - on the internet.

The Spanish torpedo-gunboat Destructor. While Destructor herself might not be well known today, her influence certainly is. This is due to the fact that Destructor was the forerunner to the modern destroyer.
Designed by well-known Spanish officer Fernando Villaamil, the warship was built in Britain by James and George Thomson of Clydebank. Villaamil envisioned a new type of torpedo boat, one that was larger, faster, and better suited to sustained bluewater operations. In addition, she would carry a heavier gun armament, allowing her to escort larger warships and screen them from enemy torpedo boats.
This armament was formidable. Her primary weapon was a 90mm gun forward and four additional 57mm guns (located amidships and aft). Two additional 37mm revolving guns rounded out the armament. This complemented her torpedo armament of two 360mm torpedo tubes.
When commissioned in 1887, Destructor quickly lived up to her expectations. At 348 tons, her 3,784hp engines were capable of driving her to speeds of 22.6 knots. This made her one of the faster ships of the period.
Her trials and early carer were watched closely by other navies. While the design was not copied abroad, it did influence the design in other navies. Less than five years later, the Royal Navy would begin development of a similar warship (in concept and capability) with the Daring class.

Spanish Pre-Dreadnought Battleship ESPS Pelayo pictured in 1899...Built at Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée La Seyne near Toulon and completed in 1888. She was a barbette ship, an ancestor of the modern Battleship with the main battery mounted in open barbettes on armoured rotating platforms, in contrast to the heavy self-contained turrets more common to the period, in favour of which the progress of the design of modern Battleships would soon abandon the barbette design.
Her main guns could be loaded in any position, and consisted of two Gonzalez Hontoria-built 12.6 inch Canet guns mounted fore and aft on the centerline and two Gonzalez Hontoria 11.0 inch guns, also in barbettes, with one mounted on either beam. She was the first Battleship and the most powerful unit of the Spanish Navy at the time. Despite its modern design for the time, Pelayo and the rest of the Spanish Asia-Pacific Rescue Squadron never engaged in combat during the Spanish–American War. Pelayo fired her guns in anger only once, when she bombarded Moroccan insurgents in 1909 during the Second Rif War. Pelayo underwent a major refit in 1910. In 1912, she served as a Training Ship, including service in 1920 and 1921 as a Gunnery Training Ship in the Training Division. Pelayo was disarmed in 1923 and scrapped in 1925.
