Watch: Tour of ESPS Almirante Juan de Borbón.

During a port call in Southampton, Forces News was granted an exclusive tour of Spain’s ESPS Almirante Juan de Borbón, en route to Nato’s largest exercise since the Cold War.

The F-100 frigate can perform both surface and anti-submarine warfare, as well as launching laser-guided Hellfire missiles. 

Before arriving in Hampshire, ESPS Almirante Juan de Borbón, the flagship of Standing Nato Maritime Group 1, carried out gunnery exercises while travelling from Scotland.

The frigate is one of five Nato warships visiting Southampton’s port before heading to take part in Exercise Steadfast Defender.

The visit comes after more than 700 vehicles sailed on a 23,000-tonne cargo vessel from Anvil Point to take part in Exercise Steadfast Defender.
