The S-82 “Narciso Monturiol” submarine, the second of the S-80 class, is now afloat in Navantia’s shipyard in Cartagena as it prepares for the final stages of its construction and commissioning, including harbor and sea trials.

The submarine sits in the water after a long and delicate maneuver, carried out over several hours using a floating dock and involving a series of essential tasks and checks to ensure the operation was conducted safely, both inside and outside the submarine.
