Navantia has inherited the long experience in naval shipbuilding acquired over almost three centuries at the Spanish Navys arsenals. Serving the Spanish Navy for more than 270 years Navantias story goes back to 1730 with the creation of the historic military arsenals in Ferrol, Cartagena and San Fernando where shipyards were set up for the construction and repair of the Spanish Navys ships. In 1908 these shipyards became part of a company called La Sociedad de Construccin Naval (popularly known as La Naval ) which also owned civil shipyards such as those at Matagorda and Sestao that were later integrated into AESA. At the end of the Civil War the government took control of the military arsenals and Bazn was established in 1947 to apply foreign technology to naval shipbuilding. The company constantly strove to improve and adapt to the needs of its clients and subsequently began to develop its own naval projects. Navantia, successor to a long tradition. Navantia, the state-owned Spanish naval shipbuilder, came to life in 2005 as a result of the process of splitting Izar into two companies in order to achieve greater business efficiency. The same docks and slipways that are now bringing life to state-of-the-art vessels such as the F-100 and F-310 frigates and the Scorpene submarines were previously witness to many milestones that included, among others, the birth of the worlds first electrically propelled submarine, the Isaac Peral, and the construction of the first Spanish ship with gas-turbine propulsion, the Principe de Asturias aircraft-carrier.

S-80: JOINING OF SECTIONS

The first submarine will be launched next year

Navantia has finalized the joining of sections 1 and 2 of the S-81 Isaac Peral, first of the series of four S-80 class submarines, that Navantia is building for the Spanish Navy. Section 1 houses the propulsion system and section 2 houses the electric system, batteries and diesel engines. The rest of the sections will be joined during 2012. Navantias S-80 submarine is the latest generation conventional submarine, unique in the world, with improvements and characteristics clearly different from other conventional submarines available in the market. For example, the S-80 offers Tomahawk land attack capabilities, and the most modern Air Independent Propulsion system.

The 2,500 t displacement S-80 submarine incorporates state-of-the-art Lockheed Martin Combat System and sonars and has been designed to achieve maximum stealth capabilities, minimizing the principal sources of noise (radiated, self noise, cavitation, and airborne) and the different non-acoustic signatures (Optical, Magnetic for which a degaussing system is fitted - Electric, Electromagnetic, Infrared, Pressure and Wake). This new Submarine is capable of diving deeper and for longer than any other conventional submarine. The S-80 incorporates a high level of system redundancy to achieve an improved endurance and operational availability (more than 240 days per year) and can be operated by a crew of 32.

STATUS OF THE ALHD PROGRAM

To December 2011 the program is advancing as scheduled

BACKGROUND In September 2007, Prime Minister, John Howard, Minister of Defence, Brendan Nelson, and the Australian shipyard, Tenix, signed in Melbourne, in the presence of the CEO of Navantia, as the main partner, the contract for which the Spanish company will build for the Royal Australian Navy the hulls of 2 amphibious ships, very similar to the LHD Juan Carlos I that Navantia has built for the Spanish Navy. The Spanish offer for the design and construction of these ships, based on the Spanish LHD, was selected over an offer from the French company DCNS because it completely met the requirements of the Royal Australian Navy. The contract reached 1,411.6 million euros, including 915 million euros for Navantia. The contract included the design and construction of the ships, as well as some equipment, e.g. engines and platform control systems, that will be provided by Navantia. Navantia will build 80% of the ships, but both of them will be finished in Australia, where the superstructure will be added. CURRENT STATUS ALHD1 It was launched on 17th February 2011. The works are about 95% complete. Navantia is now in the testing phase of the systems and equipment (electric plant, PODs propulsion).

The ship will be transported to Australia next summer on board a Heavy Lift and will be delivered to BAE Systems in Melbourne for its completion and the final trials prior to its commissioning. ALHD2 Construction was started in February 2010 and the keel was laid one year later. All 105 blocks are assembled on the slipway and it is scheduled to be launched on 4th July. Navantia wishes to highlight the excellent relationships and communications between the parties involved in this programme: Commonwealth of Australia, BAES and Navantia. The Commonwealth of Australia and BAES have congratulated Navantia for the results of the sea trials and commissioning of Juan Carlos I, as it is the reference ship for the Canberra Class LHD`s. This milestone reassures the Commonwealth that the objectives and requirements of the Royal Australian Navy will be accomplished satisfactorily. The selection of Navantia as the builder was the logical one, because Navantia had offered a unique design that fulfilled all the Australian requirements. Moreover, when the Australian Government decided to modernise its capabilities, it went to a country that had well proven latest generation capabilities, said the Ambassador of Australia to Spain, Zorica Mc Carthy.
