We have all heard about the BAM, those Maritime Action Vessels that came to replace, in one fell swoop, a good part of the patrol boats in service with the Spanish Navy. Vessels that promised, since the project was presented almost two decades ago (2002), to be a before and after for our Naval Force... [Keep reading…]
Throughout the following article we will see the general situation of the different Fleets of the main Ibero-American countries. If in the West, in general, there has been a significant drop in resources invested in naval weapons, in Latin America the situation is no better.
