Equipped with the Aegis Combat System and modern radar technologies, the vessel is one of the most capable frigates in the Spanish Navy fleet.
This 30-inch handcrafted model is meticulously built using the traditional plank-on-frame method and premium-grade woods, including Western Red Cedar, Teak, and Mahogany.

SPS Álvaro de Bazán (F101) was commissioned by the Spanish Navy in 2002 as the lead vessel of the Álvaro de Bazán-class frigate program. The class was developed to strengthen Spain's naval air-defense capability and support NATO fleet operations.
The frigate became internationally recognized as one of the first European warships equipped with the American Aegis Combat System. Its advanced radar technologies and multi-role combat capabilities established the class as a major milestone in modern Spanish naval engineering.
