High-tech Spanish naval ship opens decks to visitors in Malaga Port this weekend

The Méndez Núñez is one of the Navy’s most modern ships and it has great capabilities, especially in terms of air defence, thanks to its Spy radar system, integrated into the Aegis weapons system which all F-100 vessels have.

The ship has been taking part in the NEMO-22 electronic war exercises with other Naval ships and with the participation of different NATO agencies, to test its technological capabilities and train its crew in the Gulf of Cadiz and Strait of Gibraltar.

The Ministry of Defence has described the F-100 frigates as a “benchmark” for a Navy which is “technologically advanced, balanced, interoperable and expeditionary, capable of acting as the main component of Spanish maritime power to contribute to the defence and security of Spain’s maritime spaces,” it said in a statement regarding the visit by the Méndez Núñez to Malaga.
