Navantia, the Spanish shipbuilding company, conducted the first static dive of the S82 'Narciso Monturiol', the second submarine in the S80 series, on Tuesday near La Algameca Naval Base in Cartagena. The test aimed to verify hull behavior, ballast tank flooding, and static stability ahead of submerged navigation trials. The S80 program is progressing on schedule, with diesel engines recently installed on the third submarine, S83 'Cosme García', including generator sets and the anaerobic air-independent propulsion (AIP) system. Navantia Chairman Ricardo Domínguez stated that the second submarine will be delivered soon, highlighting the program's contribution to Spain's strategic submarine force autonomy and industrial technological capabilities, thanks to collaboration between the Ministry of Defence, Spanish Navy, and Navantia.
